4executable version of Vim, you don't need this.

16 1.2. X (Athena, GTK, Motif) or plain text.
17

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.
