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 6First, make sure you've installed Xcode or CommandLineToots. If not, open a 7terminal and do 8 9 $ make --version 10 11A window pops up instructing you to install the developer tools. 12 13 14---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15Summary 16---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17 181 MacOS X 19 1.1. Carbon interface 20 1.2. X (Athena, GTK, Motif) or plain text. 21 22MacOS Classic is no longer supported. If you really want it use Vim 6.4. 23 24---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 251 MacOS X 26---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27 281.0 Considerations 29 30 Only '/' supported as path separator. 31 321.1 Carbon interface (default) 33 34 You can compile vim with the standard Unix routine: 35 cd .../src 36 make 37 make test 38 sudo make install 39 40 "make" will create a working Vim.app application bundle in the src 41 directory. You can move this bundle (the Vim.app directory) anywhere 42 you want. Or use "make install" to move it to /Applications. 43 44 You need at least Xcode 1.5 to compile Vim 7.0. 45 46 Configure will create a universal binary if possible. This requires 47 installing the universal SDK (currently for 10.4). 48 49 To overrule the architecture do this before running make: 50 51 ./configure --with-mac-arch=intel 52 or 53 ./configure --with-mac-arch=ppc 54 55 561.2 X-Windows or Plain Text 57 58 If you do not want the Carbon interface, you must explicitly tell 59 configure to use a different GUI. 60 61 cd .../src 62 ./configure --disable-darwin --enable-gui=gtk2 63 make; make install 64 65 NOTE: The following GUI options are supported: 66 no (for text), motif, athena, nextaw 67 gtk, gtk2, gnome, gnome2, 68 69 NOTE: You need to first install XFree86 and XDarwin. 70 Please visit http://www.XDarwin.org 71 72------------------------------------------------------ 73
