It depends on your compiler, which, in turn, depends on your OS: on
Unix-like systems one should use gcc with the top-level Makefile; on
Windows you can use Cygwin gcc, MinGW gcc, Borland BCC32, Microsoft
Visual C/C++, and maybe others, each with its own makefile among the
various src/Make_*.mak; it also depends on how you configure Vim.
I used until a short time ago the line
export CONF_ARGS='--with-modified-by="Bill McCarthy (float)"'
in the file which I have bash source (not run) before running Vim make.
Since the above patch came out I have, as you know, taken advantage of
it instead.
See lines 316-317 of vim72/src/Makefile
To regenerate the config cache and recompile immediately, use (only on
Unix-like platforms) "make reconfig". It can be run in the top-level
Makefile, which will pass it to src/Makefile.
On Windows, you may have to check the particular makefile for your
compiler, and maybe search
/modif
There may or may not be a make variable for it; if there isn't (but, I
suppose, only if there isn't) you may uncomment (and edit) line 974 of
src/feature.h (which is the file where most of the user-selectable
features can be enabled or disabled).
See also:
(U*x) http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
(W32) http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm
which show how to set the most commonly used make variables when
compiling Vim. For lesser variables you may have to check the particular
makefile you use for which particular names and values to use. I
recommend not to modify the makefile but to set the variables either on
the make command-line (where on the command line depends on your
particular version of make) or in the environment, as shown in the above
howto pages.
Best regards,
Tony.
