Re: Installing neovim on macOS

For some reason, it only compiles with a single thread, even though I bootstrapped pkgsrc with “--make-jobs 4”. Any advice on enabling multiple build jobs is appreciated!

I have fixed devel/lua-lpeg/buildlink3.mk and updated editors/neovim. Now it should build on macOS.

To speed up building, you might need something like the following in your mk.conf:

MAKE_JOBS!=     sysctl -n hw.ncpu

WRKLOG=         /dev/null

OSX_VERSION=    15.3
OSX_SDK_PATH=   /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk
OSX_PATH_TO_M4=         /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/m4
OSX_PATH_TO_YACC=       /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/yacc

Kind regards,
Adam
