Introduction to Vim
The Vim package, which is an abbreviation for VI IMproved, contains a vi clone with extra features as compared to the original vi.
The default CLFS instructions install vim as a part of the base system. If you would prefer to link vim against X, you should recompile vim to enable GUI mode.
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-16.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.
