Hi,
I'm using gvim73 on windows xp.
[snip]
I'm a complete newbie on compiling gvim.
But how to do that on windows XP?
[snip]
If not, which (open source?) compiler do you need for that
on a windows XP machine?
I'll give this a try
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/howto/win32-compile/Vim-Compile-
Win32-HOWTO.pdf
yikes -- that pdf is OLD -- looking at
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net
i see the first search box is labeled "Search the latest
documentation (Updated 2009-06-13 for Vim 7.2.197):"
i think the site should be updated or whacked...

If it was updated for 7.2.197 it should apply mutatis mutandis to 7.3
with the following differences:
- You can now download the latest Vim sources from Bram's Mercurial
repository, see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial
- If you decide to get the source archive over ftp, the extra and lang
archives have been retired (the "main" archive contains everything); and
of course the archive's filename includes 7.3 instead of 7.2
- See also http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm
with the following caveats:
- The Cygwin C compiler/linker for native-Windows may have a longer
name than just gcc.exe: lines 43-47 of the current Make_cyg.mak seem to
mean that CC should be set to gcc-3 (which in turn requires overriding
the makefile default) and -L/lib/w32api added to EXTRA_LIBS
- Or you may prefer using MinGW gcc instead (with the Make_ming.mak
makefile and similar but not necessarily identical environment settings)
- The Make_cyg.mak mentions in its text "Last Change: 2010 Feb 24"
but actually it was modified on 2010-08-17; for instance it mentions the
Lua interface which hadn't yet been added to Vim in February.
Best regards,
Tony.
