| This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an |
| executable version of Vim, you don't need this. |

| |
| 1.0 Considerations |
| |
| Only '/' supported as path separator. |
| |
| 1.1 Carbon interface (default) |
| |
| You can compile vim with the standard Unix routine: |
| cd .. |
| ./configure |
| make; make install |
| |
| This will create a working Vim.app application bundle in the src |
| directory. You can move this bundle (the Vim.app directory) anywhere |
| you want, for example, /Applications. |
| |
| You need at least Xcode 1.5 to compile Vim 7.0. |
| |
| |
| 1.2 X-Windows or Plain Text |
| |
| If you do not want the Carbon interface, you must explicitly tell |
| configure to use a different GUI. |
| |
| cd .. |
| ./configure --disable-darwin --enable-gui=gtk2 |
| make; make install |
| |
| NOTE: The following GUI options are supported: |
| no (for text), motif, athena, nextaw |
| gtk, gtk2, gnome, gnome2, |
| |
| NOTE: You need to first install XFree86 and XDarwin. |
