| Vim with KDE: kvim |
| |
| ON THE INTERNET |
| =============== |
| |
| The homepage is http://www.freehackers.org/kvim/ |
| The core is build around the official vim-6.x releases and patches |
| |
| KVim CVS is full and does not need extra package. Just download and compile it. |
| |
| INSTALL : |
| ========= |
| We now use Vim's configure to configure, compile and install KVim. |
| |
| Don't forget, that you need to have QT and KDE headers and tools installed, otherwise it won't |
| work ! (these can commonly be found in kde-devel/qt-devel packages) |
| |
| Enter the 'src' directory and configure it your way (you need to add at least these flags to the configure command line : --enable-gui=kde --with-qt-dir=$QTDIR ) then make and make install as root. |
| We added to configure some options for KDE / QT detection, it will for example, find whether you use KDE 2.x or KDE 3.x automatically. For now, QT is _not_ autodetected. I hope to fix this soon. |
| From KVim 6.1, you can now use a KDE toolbar instead of Vim's Toolbar, to enable it, use the --enable-kde-toolbar configure flag. |
| |
| |
| => If it fails : (yes it still can, the configure script i wrote is still experimental and probably not |
| perfect ;p) |
| or 'how to make a bug report' : |
| |
| In some cases, I can imagine it will fail, if this happens then send to marchand@kde.org : |
| ->auto/config.mk (important one) |
| ->your configure command line with your options |
| ->your paths : where KDE is (which version ?), where QT is (version ?), and find where your |
| libs are (your kdelibs, your QT libs and QT headers) |
| ->the output of 'kde-config --version' |
| ->your OS / Linux Distribution version |
| ->in case of a compilation error : the full error output. |
| ->the compiler used (gcc 2.95, 2.96, 3.1 ...) |
| ->any stuff you think could be usefull to me :) |
| |
| Thanks for giving KVim a try, we hope you'll enjoy it ! |

| DEVELOPMENT STATE AND KNOWN BUGS: |
| ================================= |
| Most Vim GUI features are now implemented, only multibyte support is incomplete. |
| We are working on this and this is our primary goal after KVim 6.1 release. |
| We hope to get it to work before we include KVim into the core Vim which we want to |
| do before the end of the year 2002 if possible. |
| |
| We would be happy to hear from you if you've tried kvim. Tell us |
| what is missing, what you like and don't like, and what you want. |
| |
| As people have wished it for a while, Philippe developped a component for Vim. |
| The component is now fully usable with GVim and KVim and can be found on KDE's CVS |
| in the kdeextragear-1 module. |
| |
| SOURCE ACCESS: |
| ============== |
| Releases and maybe snapshots are/will be found on http://freehackers.org/kvim/ |
| The CVS is CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.tuxfamily.org:/cvsroot/kvim |
| (with no password) |
| You'll find there a full vim 6.x package (with runtime files included). |
| |
| MAILING LIST: |
| ============= |
| As we released KVim 6.0, we created a public mailing list, for feedback, |
| user help and development related discussions : "kvim-dev@freenux.org", |
| to subscribe send a mail to "kvim-dev-subscribe@freenux.org" with |
| "subscribe" as the subject and just reply to the mail you will receive. |
| (sorry the admin messages are in french, but the list discussions are in |
| english) |
| |
| THANKS : |

| To all the guys on #kde@opn (Neil, Malte and many other) and to all the people who |
