> how to compile gvim using vim72 source code on ubuntu
1) Get the source. I like the Mercurial repository:
mkdir vim
hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim
(You'd need mercurial installed for that.)
2) Install the headers and libraries vim wants:
sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gtk
That assumes you want gvim.
3) compile:
cd vim
make
4) install
sudo make install
will install to /usr/local; you'll want /usr/local/bin in your path
ahead of /usr/bin.
It's worth a read of Tony's compiling page:
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
I like his method of setting configuration options, but not the
patching method, using hg is much simpler.
Regards, John
