If you have, please tell me! ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- *vim-5.0* ------- - 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 - preliminaries - you first have to install *ncurses-4.1* - you first have to install *X11R6.3*, if you want vim with X11 GUI support - 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 - works, but you first have to "export SUFFIX=.exe", because it does not use the standard "install" program - notes - make gives you a few warnings, which you can ignore, and when it has finished, it is not obvious, that compilation succeeded, though it did - if the X11R6.3 package is installed, you get GUI support, too; the process for building the package is the same, though - works the same way for vim-5.1 (according to noer AT cygnus DOT com (Geoffrey Noer)) - package availability - on ftp.franken.de - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael - as vim-5.0-win32-with-gui-bin.tar.gz - or vim-5.0-win32-with-gui-bin.zip - or vim-5.0-win32-without-gui-bin.tar.gz - or vim-5.0-win32-without-gui-bin.zip - contributed by - mh AT mike DOT franken DOT de (Michael Hirmke) ------------------------< snip snip snip >----------------------------- > >-- Vazul Bye.
