- INSTALLami.txt - Installation of Vim from source on Amiga
-
- This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an
- executable version of Vim, you don't need this.
-
- The file "feature.h" can be edited to match your preferences. You can skip
- this, then you will get the default behavior as is documented, which should
- be fine for most people.
-
-
- Summary:
- make -f Make_manx.mak Manx C
- make -f Make_sas.mak Lattice/SAS C
- make -f Make_dice.mak DICE
-
- The Manx compiler is preferred, it was used to produce the Amiga executable
- and has been tested most. You should not get any errors or warnings.
-
- The SAS compiler can be used. Older versions (6.0 to 6.3) don't work with the
- optimizer switched on. This seems to be fixed with 6.5 or 6.56, but this has
- not been tested much. Also disable optimizing when the compiler runs out of
- memory or crashes the system (yes, that happens; did I say the Manx compiler
- is preferred?).
-
- The DICE makefile has been reported to work by one person only.
-
- You will have to set the "VIM" environment variable to the location of the
- documentation files.
