<title>Installation of Vim</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>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 you
|
|
prefer. There are a few hints how to install different editors
|
|
available at <ulink
|
|
url="http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/">http://www.archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/</ulink>
|
|
. The hints which are currently available are for Emacs, Joe and nano.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Both the vim-rt and vim-src packages need to be unpacked to install Vim.
|
|
Both packages will unpack their files into the vim-&vim-version; 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:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>make &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>make install &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>cd /usr/bin &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>ln -s vim vi</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you plan on installing the X Window system on your LFS
|
|
system, you might want to re-compile Vim after you have 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.</para>

<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>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><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></screen></para>
