Sounds just like what I have at my work. I build and install into my home directory my own gvim, with gtk and x11 libraries built from scratch. Here's my build script https://github.com/infnty/configs/raw/master/bsd/survival-kit.py, you may find it useful if you speak python. There's a lot of useful information about building these libraries and their dependencies on LFS project site - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/index.html. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
