<title>Installation of Vim</title>
<para>If you don't like vim to be installed as an editor on your LFS system,
you may want to download an alternative and install the editor you
prefer. There are a few hints on how to install different editors
available at <ulink url="&hints-root;"/>. Currently there are hints
for Emacs, joe, and nano.</para>
<para>Install Vim by running the following commands:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../vim-&vim-version;.patch &amp;&amp;
./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make CPPFLAGS=-DSYS_VIMRC_FILE=\\\"/etc/vimrc\\\" &amp;&amp;
make install &amp;&amp;
ln -sf vim /usr/bin/vi</userinput></screen></para>
<para>If you plan to install 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/&lt;editor&gt;
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>patch -Np1 -i ../vim-&vim-version;.patch &amp;&amp;
./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var/lib/vim &amp;&amp;
make CPPFLAGS=-DSYS_VIMRC_FILE=\\\"/etc/vimrc\\\" &amp;&amp;
make install &amp;&amp;
ln -sf vim /usr/bin/vi</userinput></screen></para>
