Configure File for Building Vim From Source
BlogI recently needed to rebuild vim from source.
Mostly people download the latest using Homebrew, but sometimes you might need to build it from source.
It’s simple enough. Clone the git
repo.
We then create a file that we’ll pass to the shell. It’s basically a convenient
way to execute a really long command. Here’s my file. I called it myconfig.sh
./configure --enable-multibyte \
--enable-perlinterp=dynamic \
--enable-rubyinterp=dynamic \
--enable-pythoninterp=dynamic \
--enable-python3interp=dynamic \
--enable-cscope \
--enable-gui=auto \
--with-features=huge \
--without-x \
--enable-fontset \
--enable-largefile \
--disable-netbeans \
--with-compiledby="vimfan@example.com" \
--enable-fail-if-missing
After that, run sh myconfig.sh && make && make install
and you’ll be back
undeway in no time. Hat tip to Arophix.
