<title>Installation of Vim</title>

If you don't like vim to be installed as an editor on the LFS system,
|
|
you may want to download an alternative and install an editor he
|
|
prefers. There are a few hints how to install different editors
|
|
available at <ulink

Both the vim-rt and vim-src packages need to be unpacked to install Vim.
|
|
Both packages will unpack their files into the vim-5.7 directory. This
|
|
won't overwrite any files from the other package. So it doesn't matter
|
|
in which order it is done. Install Vim by running the following commands:

<blockquote><literallayout>

<userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>make &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>make install &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>cd /usr/bin &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>ln -s vim vi</userinput>

If you plan on installing the X Window system on his LFS
|
|
system, you might want to re-compile Vim after he has installed X. Vim
|
|
comes with a nice GUI version of the editor which requires X and a few
|
|
other libraries to be installed. For more information read the Vim
|
|
documentation.

<title>FHS compliance notes</title>

|
|
<para>
|
|
The FHS says that editors like vim should use /var/lib/<editor> for their
|
|
temporary state files, like temporary save files for example. If you wish vim to
|
|
conform to the FHS, you should use this command set instead of the one presented
|
|
above:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><literallayout>
|
|
<userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var/lib/vim &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>make &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>make install &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>cd /usr/bin &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>ln -s vim vi &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>mkdir /var/lib/vim</userinput>
