installing MacVim fails (OS 10.8.2, SSD, Command-Line Tools only)

[dskoziol]

This is my first issue writeup, so let me know if I should supply any more info.

Brand new computer, latest OS (10.8.2), solid-state drive, brew updated to most recent (0.9.3), "raring to brew", latest command-line tools (updated two days ago) installed but NOT xcode (I'd like to avoid that if I can, to save some space).

Error: src/MacVim/build/Release/MacVim.app does not exist

Here's the gist of my installation.

I tried searching for a similar issue, but maybe I didn't look hard enough. Is it possible that I'm required to have xcode installed instead of just the command-line tools?

Thanks!

Pretty sure MacVim needs a real Xcode...but hopefully other maintainers can confirm this/correct me.

Yeah, MacVim calls xcodebuild and therefore requires a full XCode install:

xcodebuild -project MacVim/MacVim.xcodeproj 
xcrun: Error: failed to exec real xcrun. (No such file or directory)
Error: src/MacVim/build/Release/MacVim.app does not exist

We should add depends_on :xcode to this.
