1 INSTALLmac.txt - Installation of Vim on Macintosh
3 This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an
4 executable version of Vim, you don't need this.
6 An alternate way of building that Benji Fisher uses can be found here:

10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 1.2. X (Athena, GTK, Motif) or plain text.
18 MacOS Classic is no longer supported. If you really want it use Vim 6.4.
20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
26 Only '/' supported as path separator.
28 1.1 Carbon interface (default)
30 You can compile vim with the standard Unix routine:
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:
39 You need at least Xcode 1.5 to compile Vim 7.0.
41 Configure will create a universal binary if possible. This requires
42 installing the universal SDK (currently for 10.4).
44 To overrule the architecture do this before running make:
46 ./configure --with-mac-arch=intel
48 ./configure --with-mac-arch=ppc
51 1.2 X-Windows or Plain Text
53 If you do not want the Carbon interface, you must explicitly tell
54 configure to use a different GUI.
57 ./configure --disable-darwin --enable-gui=gtk2
60 NOTE: The following GUI options are supported:
61 no (for text), motif, athena, nextaw
62 gtk, gtk2, gnome, gnome2,
64 NOTE: You need to first install XFree86 and XDarwin.
