Hi Chandra,

Perhaps this helps a bit:

------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------

   *vim-5.3*
   -------

   - what is it?
     - Vim (Vi Improved) is an almost compatible version of the UNIX
       editor vi whereby almost every possible command can be performed
       using only ASCII characters. Only the 'Q' command is missing
       (you don't need it). Many new features have been added: multi
       level undo, command line history, filename completion, block
       operations, editing of binary data, etc. Vi is available for
       the AMIGA, MS-DOS, Windows NT, and various versions of UNIX.

   - system
     - Windows NT4 German / SP3

   - Cygwin
     - for B20
     - binary mounts only
     - CYGWIN=title strip_title binmode glob tty
   
   - preliminaries
     - you first have to install *ncurses-4.x*, if you want vim to
       run in another terminal mode than the builtin ones
     - you first have to install *X11R6.3*, if you want vim with
       X11 GUI support
     - get the source packages
       - vim-5.3-src.tar.gz (the source code)
       - vim-5.3-rt.tar.gz (the so called runtime system)
       somewhere from the net or your favourite Linux distribution

   - configure
     - works without changes with these parameters:
       ./configure \
          --prefix=/usr/local \
          --disable-perlinterp \
          --disable-pythoninterp

       or for a vim without any GUI support
       ./configure \
          --prefix=/usr/local \
          --disable-perlinterp \
          --disable-pythoninterp \
          --disable-gui \
          --without-x

   - make
     - works without changes

   - make install
     - you have to create a few directories first - no idea, why they
       are not created automatically !?!?
       - mkdir -p <prefix>/share/vim/doc
       - mkdir -p <prefix>/share/vim/syntax
       - mkdir -p <prefix>/share/vim/macros
     - export SUFFIX=.exe
     - now "make install" runs without further problems
     
     - you can use the following script for all the steps above:

       --------------------< snip snip snip >--------------------------
       #!/bin/sh
       
       set -x
       
       pref=/usr/local
       mode=nogui
       
       case "$mode" in
       nogui)
         cfgopts=" \
           --prefix=$pref \
           --disable-cscope \
           --disable-perlinterp \
           --disable-pythoninterp \
           --disable-tclinterp \
           --disable-gui \
           --without-x \
         "
         ;;
       gui)
         cfgopts=" \
           --prefix=$pref \
           --disable-cscope \
           --disable-perlinterp \
           --disable-pythoninterp \
           --disable-tclinterp \
         "
         ;;
       esac
       
       ./configure $cfgopts && \
       
       make && \
       
       mkdir -p $pref/share/vim/doc && \
       mkdir -p $pref/share/vim/syntax && \
       mkdir -p $pref/share/vim/macros && \
       
       export SUFFIX=.exe && \
       make install
       --------------------< snip snip snip >--------------------------

   - notes
     - if the X11R6.3 package is installed, you get GUI support, too;
       the process for building the package is the same, though

   - package availability

     - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/B20
