1This builds a one-click install for Vim for Win32 using the Nullsoft
2Installation System (NSIS), available at http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis/
3
4To build the installable .exe:
5
61. Unpack three archives:
7 PC sources
8 PC runtime
9 PC language files
10 You can generate these from the Unix sources and runtime plus the extra
11 archive (see the Makefile in the top directory).
12
132. Go to the src directory and build:
14 gvim.exe (the OLE version),
15 vimrun.exe,
16 install.exe,
17 uninstal.exe,
18 xxd/xxd.exe,
19
203. Go to the GvimExt directory and build gvimext.dll (or get it from a binary
21 archive).
22
234. Go to the VisVim directory and build VisVim.dll (or get it from a binary
24 archive).
25
265. Go to the OleVim directory and build OpenWithVim.exe and SendToVim.exe (or
27 get them from a binary archive).
28
296. Get a "diff.exe" program and put it in the "../.." directory (above the
30 "vim61" directory, it's the same for all Vim versions).
31 You can find one in previous Vim versions or in this archive:
32 http://www.mossbayeng.com/~ron/vim/diffutils.tar.gz
33
347. Do "make uganda.nsis.txt" in runtime/doc. This requires sed, you may have
35 to do this on Unix. Make sure the file is in DOS file format!
36
37Install NSIS if you didn't do that already.
38Also install UPX, if you want a compressed file.
