Am I supposed to put 2 and 3 into the original?  Am I
supposed to move the contents of each /src directory
into the one in the Unix archive?

Yes. Here is how I do it:

bunzip2 -qck vim-7.0.tar.bz2 | tar x
gunzip -qc vim-7.0-lang.tar.gz | tar x
gunzip -qc vim-7.0-extra.tar.gz | tar x
mkdir vim70/patches
wget -r -l 1 -nc -nd -P vim70/patches "ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/";
patch -s -t -d vim70 -p0 -i patches/7.0.001
patch -s -t -d vim70 -p0 -i patches/7.0.001
patch -s -t -d vim70 -p0 -i patches/7.0.001
patch -s -t -d vim70 -p0 -i patches/7.0.001
etc...

I suppose you ment 001, 002, 003, 004, ... at the end of the lines


I have a loop that executes the patch command for all files
named 7.0.* in the vim70/patches directory. But since I am
compiling under Windows XP, I can't tell how to program that
loop under unix/linux.

he's compiling under W32 too IIRC; but under bash it would be (the first time)

        for p in patches/7.0.* ; do patch -p0 -i $p ; done

Since the 2nd, 3rd, etc. time we don't want to reapply the same patches it's less evident, unless "old" patches are removed before downloading the new ones.


With best regards
