Compiling Vim 7.4 with GUI support on Fedora 20

I've installed the following dependencies before trying to compile Vim 7.4 from source on Fedora 20 (Default Gnome). I've removed the vim-enhanced package via yum before proceeding:

yum install ncurses-libs gnome-libs-devel libgnomeui-devel
    gtk2-devel libbonoboui-devel libX11-devel libXpm-devel
    libXt-devel python-devel ruby-devel cairo-devel

However, when I try to do something like:

./configure --with-features=huge --enable-rubyinterp
            --enable-python3interp --enable-gui=gnome2
            --enable-cscope --prefix=/usr/local --with-x=yes | grep gui

I get the following during the configuration step:

checking --enable-gui argument... no GUI support

I've installed all the dependencies that I know of. I've searched online, and cannot find any references to solve this problem. Is there a dependency that I'm missing?

I don't have the answer to your question, but unless you have a particular reason for not letting Vim auto-configure the GUI support, I would leave out the --enable-gui=gnome2 option. Also, the default prefix is /usr/local, so you don't need that, and with --with-features=huge, you don't need --with-x, either. – garyjohn – 2014-01-12T09:05:56.667

Actually, I tried doing that (even --enable-gui=auto). I added things like --with-x as a desperate attempt to get it to work. – AgilE – 2014-01-12T16:45:36.457

Did you check the auto/config.log file? – Heptite – 2014-01-12T18:36:19.393

Yes, I did. I didn't find anything useful there. However, I just re-downloaded the mercurial repository and this time, it worked. I might have added new dependencies in between, but it only started working on a fresh repo checkout. – AgilE – 2014-01-13T03:51:27.327
