Introduction to Vim

According to the Vim website, Vim is an advanced and highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. For a primer on text manipulation see: http://gavin.brokentrain.net/projects/vimtips/vimtips.pdf

Project Homepage: http://www.vim.org/

Dependencies

Required

Optional

If you recompile Vim to link against X, and your X libraries are not on the root partition, you will no longer have an editor for use in emergencies. You may choose to install an additional editor, not link Vim against X, or move the current vim executable to the /bin directory under a different name such as vi.

Non-Multilib

If desired, unpack the translated messages archive: 

tar -xf ../vim-7.0-lang.tar.gz --strip-components=1

Compile the package: 

patch -Np1 -i ../vim-7.0-fixes-23.patch &&
echo '#define SYS_VIMRC_FILE "/etc/vimrc"' >> src/feature.h &&
echo '#define SYS_GVIMRC_FILE "/etc/gvimrc"' >> src/feature.h &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-features=huge &&
make

Install the package 

make install

Multilib

This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is needed.

32Bit

If desired, unpack the translated messages archive: 

tar -xf ../vim-7.0-lang.tar.gz --strip-components=1

Compile the package: 

patch -Np1 -i ../vim-7.0-fixes-23.patch &&
echo '#define SYS_VIMRC_FILE "/etc/vimrc"' >> src/feature.h &&
echo '#define SYS_GVIMRC_FILE "/etc/gvimrc"' >> src/feature.h &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-features=huge \
    --x-libraries=${XORG_PREFIX}/lib &&
make

Install the package 

make install

N32

If desired, unpack the translated messages archive: 

tar -xf ../vim-7.0-lang.tar.gz --strip-components=1

Compile the package: 

patch -Np1 -i ../vim-7.0-fixes-23.patch &&
echo '#define SYS_VIMRC_FILE "/etc/vimrc"' >> src/feature.h &&
echo '#define SYS_GVIMRC_FILE "/etc/gvimrc"' >> src/feature.h &&
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-features=huge \
    --x-libraries=${XORG_PREFIX}/lib32 &&
make

Install the package 

make install

64Bit

If desired, unpack the translated messages archive: 

tar -xf ../vim-7.0-lang.tar.gz --strip-components=1

Compile the package: 

patch -Np1 -i ../vim-7.0-fixes-23.patch &&
echo '#define SYS_VIMRC_FILE "/etc/vimrc"' >> src/feature.h &&
echo '#define SYS_GVIMRC_FILE "/etc/gvimrc"' >> src/feature.h &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-features=huge \
    --x-libraries=${XORG_PREFIX}/lib64 &&
make

Install the package 

make install

Configuring

Create a desktop file if desired. 

cat >> /usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop << EOF
