<para>First change the default locations of the <filename>vimrc</filename> and
|
|
<filename>gvimrc</filename> files to <filename
|
|
class="directory">/etc</filename>.</para>
|
|
|

<screen><userinput>echo '#define SYS_VIMRC_FILE "/etc/vimrc"' >> src/feature.h
|
|
echo '#define SYS_GVIMRC_FILE "/etc/gvimrc"' >> src/feature.h</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now prepare Vim for compilation:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Compile the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>This package has a test suite available which performs a number of
|
|
checks to ensure it will function correctly. However, the Vim test suite will
|
|
output a whole lot of seemingly garbage characters to screen which can
|
|
occasionally wreak havoc with the running terminal. Accordingly, the running of
|
|
the test suite here is optional. Should you choose to run the Vim test suite,
|
|
the following command will do so:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make test</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>And install the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>When called as <command>vi</command>, <command>vim</command>
|
|
will run in old-fashioned vi-mode. To allow this, create a symlink:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>ln -s vim /usr/bin/vi</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you are going to install the X Window system on your LFS system, you
|
|
may want to re-compile Vim after having installed X. Vim comes with a nice GUI
|
|
version of the editor that requires X and a few other libraries to be
|
|
installed. For more information read the Vim documentation.</para>
