I've just downloaded the sources for vim (under Unix), and am
having a problem with the build procedure. According to
src/INSTALL, in order to build for multiple architectures, I
should create a target directory for each architecture, then
"`cd' to the directory where you want the object files and
executables to go and run the `configure' script. `configure'
automatically checks for the source code in the directory that
`configure' is in and in `..'."
This isn't working, and a quick glance at the configure script
(both $root/configure and $root/src/configure) show that there
is nothing in those scripts which tries to figure out the
directory. (I'm invoking configure with an absolute pathname,
so ` dirname $0 ` should be sufficient for it to find it's
subdirectories.)
For the moment, I'll just go ahead and build like I do with a
lot of other programs: configure, build and install from the
root, then do a distclean before repeating for another platform.
But if this is the way to do it, the documentation should be
updated.
