Well, that was exciting... I recently tried to build vim 7 on OSS (Tandem / HP Nonstop S-Series). I finally got it to work by diff'ing the ITUG Floss sources (link below) against vim-6.1 and applying the diffs to vim-7.0 (and by first building/installing ncurses-5.5). I would like to submit my efforts to be included upstream. Are there any objections if I post the .patch here?

This is the ITUG vim:
https://www.itug.org/secure/ituglib/shared/act_download.cfm/vim.tar.Z?lib_file_id=666

NOTE: I also had to configure ncurses and vim as follows:
ncurses5-5$ CFLAGS=-WIEEE_float ./configure
vim-7.0$ LDFLAGS=-lfloss CFLAGS=-WIEEE_float ./configure

(I am not sure if 'floss' is necessary, but it was used in ITUG vim61.)


Well, IMHO you ought to send them to Bram < [EMAIL PROTECTED] >, preferably in the form of context or unified diffs against the most recent sources (i.e., 7.0 as seen after applying the 39 "official" patches already published). If your patches are bulky, they might perhaps not be worth publishing on the list; but that's only my private opinion.


Best regards,
Tony.
