Restructure the project 
- add the NeoVimServer binary
- we're on our way to remove the XPC service since only 1-to-1 correspondence
  possible between an XPC and the main app
- NeoVimServer communicates with the main app via two CFMessagePorts
- Use enums to distinguish between messages

nvox

NeoVim for OS X

About

There are other working NeoVim GUIs for OS X, e.g. NyaoVim, neovim-dot-app, etc., why another? Well, nvox is a toy project, meaning e.g. no tests whatsoever, for me to:

  • play around (obviously) with NeoVim,
  • play around with the XPC-architecture and to find out whether this is a viable choice for an OSX-NeoVim-GUI-app,
  • play around with Swift (and especially with RxSwift) and
  • (most importantly) have fun!

It could very well be that nothing useful comes out of it.

How to Build

First install homebrew, then:

xcode-select --install # install the Xcode command line tools
brew install carthage # install Carthage for dependency management
brew install libtool automake cmake pkg-config gettext ninja # install libs and tools for neovim

carthage update --platform osx

git submodule update --init
cd neovim
ln -s ../NeoVimXpc/local.mk .
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release libnvim # optional, the nvox target in Xcode also does this

Run the nvox-target in Xcode.

Libraries for NeoVim

  • The library libiconv is linked by the linker flag -liconv. The version bundled with OSX will be linked.
  • The library libintl should be installed by homebrew and is statically linked by explicitly using the linker flag /usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.a.
  • Other libraries used by NeoVim, which are automatically built by building libnvim, are linked by adding them to the Xcode project.
