1INSTALLmac.txt - Installation of Vim on Macintosh 2 3This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an 4executable version of Vim, you don't need this. 5 6An alternate way of building that Benji Fisher uses can be found here: 7 8 http://macvim.swdev.org/OSX/#Developers 9 10---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11Summary 12---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 141 MacOS X 15 1.1. Carbon interface 16 1.2. X (Athena, GTK, Motif) or plain text. 17 18MacOS Classic is no longer supported. If you really want it use Vim 6.4. 19 20---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 211 MacOS X 22---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23 241.0 Considerations 25 26 Only '/' supported as path separator. 27 281.1 Carbon interface (default) 29 30 You can compile vim with the standard Unix routine: 31 cd .../src 32 make 33 34 This will create a working Vim.app application bundle in the src 35 directory. You can move this bundle (the Vim.app directory) anywhere 36 you want. Or use this command to move it to /Applications: 37 make install 38 39 You need at least Xcode 1.5 to compile Vim 7.0. 40 41 Configure will create a universal binary if possible. This requires 42 installing the universal SDK (currently for 10.4). 43 44 To overrule the architecture do this before running make: 45 46 ./configure --with-mac-arch=intel 47 or 48 ./configure --with-mac-arch=ppc 49 50 511.2 X-Windows or Plain Text 52 53 If you do not want the Carbon interface, you must explicitly tell 54 configure to use a different GUI. 55 56 cd .../src 57 ./configure --disable-darwin --enable-gui=gtk2 58 make; make install 59 60 NOTE: The following GUI options are supported: 61 no (for text), motif, athena, nextaw 62 gtk, gtk2, gnome, gnome2, 63 64 NOTE: You need to first install XFree86 and XDarwin. 65 Please visit http://www.XDarwin.org 66 67------------------------------------------------------ 68
