Take vim!  (www.vim.org)

Version 5.6 compiles out of the box (Actual version is 5.7, perhaps it
also works fine, had no time to test it yet)


Building:


Untar the src and the rt packages,


cd src

./configure --enable-gui=auto --prefix=/usr 
(--disable-perlinterp if you have perl 5.6) 
( --enable-pythoninterp if you have python)

make (EXTRA_LIBS="-lICE -lSM" if you have X11R6 libs installed)

cd src
make SUFFIX=.exe install
make installmacros 


If you want a minimalistic vim then there is also a switch
--enable-min-features

If you want it super-sexy (hmm.. can editors be sexy... ??) compile
glib & gtk + use x11r6 libs and you will get a nice looking
gtk-interface for vim

Have fun,
