mattsoutherden is right, this is only a patch to make the configure args work correctly.

As far as I know, It doesn't provide for switching ruby executables at runtime. If you need that functionality, it might be worth experimenting with passing a symlink to the configure script, then changing where it points at runtime.

Does this applies just fine for Vim 7.3.161? Or does it needs to be updated?

A similar patch was rolled into the main MacVim repo a while back, try there.

Someone pointed me to this gist, but I have no idea what problem this Gist is supposed to solve. Can someone fill me in?

This is an old patch for macvim to get ruby working properly, an equivalent patch has been rolled into the project, afaik.

You mean the Ruby wrapper around VimScript? On Tue, Jul 05, 2011 at 10:37 AM, koudelka reply@reply.github.com wrote:

I'm not sure, the Command-T plugin used it.
