INSTALL - Installation of Vim on PC 
 
This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an 
executable version of Vim, you don't need this. 
 
The file "feature.h" can be edited to match your preferences. You can skip 
this, then you will get the default behaviour as is documented, which should 
be fine for most people. 
 
 
Contents: 
1. MS-DOS 
2. Win32 (Windows NT and Windows 95) 
3. Windows NT with OpenNT 
 
 
1. MS-DOS 
========= 
 
Summary: 
ren makefile makefile.uni 
ren makefile.bcc makefile; make      16 bit, Borland C++ and Turbo C++ 
ren makefile.dos makefile; make	     16 bit, Turbo C 
make -f makefile.djg		     32 bit, DJGPP 2.0 
make -f Makefile.bor		     32 bit, Borland C++ 5.0 (edit it to 
					     define DOS) 
 
Warning: Be sure to use the right make.exe.  Microsoft C make doesn't work; 
Borland make only works with makefile.bcc, makefile.bor and makefile.dos;  
DJGPP/GNU make must be used for makefile.djg. 
 
The Borland C++ compiler has been used to generate the MS-DOS executable; it 
should work without problems. You will probably have to change the paths for 
LIBPATH and INCLUDEPATH in the start of the makefile.  You will get two 
warnings which can be ignored (one about _chmod and one about precompiled 
header files). 
 
The "spawno" library by Ralf Brown was used in order to free memory when Vim 
starts a shell or other external command.  Only about 200 bytes are taken from 
conventional memory.  When recompiling get the spawno library from Simtel, 
directory "msdos/c".  It is called something like "spwno413.zip".  Or follow 
the instructions in the makefile to remove the library. 
 
The Turbo C makefile has not been tested much lately. It is included for those 
that don't have C++. You may need to make a few changes to get it to work. 
 
DJGPP needs to be installed properly to compile Vim; you need a lot of things 
before it works. When your setup is OK, Vim should compile with just one 
warning (about an argument to signal()). 
 
Makefile.bor is for those that have Borland C++ 5.0 or later.  At the top of 
the file, there are some variables you can change to make either a 32-bit 
Windows exe (GUI or console mode), or a 16-bit MS-DOS version. 
 
If you get all kinds of strange error messages when compiling, try adding  
characters at the end of each line. 
 
 
2. Win32 (Windows NT and Windows 95) 
==================================== 
 
Summary: 
nmake -f Makefile.w32	   	console   Win32 SDK or Microsoft Visual C++ 
nmake -f Makefile.w32 GUI=yes	GUI   	  Microsoft Visual C++ 
nmake -f Makefile.w32 OLE=yes	OLE   	  Microsoft Visual C++ 
nmake -f Makefile.w32 PERL=C:\Perl 
				Perl   	  Microsoft Visual C++ 
nmake -f Makefile.w32 PYTHON=C:\Python 
				Python 	  Microsoft Visual C++ 
			(combinations are possible with Makefile.w32) 
make  -f Makefile.bor	   	GUI	  Borland C++ 5.0 
make  -f Makefile.bor	   	console	  Borland C++ 5.0 (change the file) 
nmake -f Gvim_vc.mak	   	GUI    	  Microsoft Visual C++ 4.x or 5.0 
nmake -f if_ole_vc.mak	   	OLE	  Microsoft Visual C++ 4.x or 5.0 
make  -f makefile.cyg	   	console   Cygnus gcc 
 
See the specific files for comments and options. 
 
These files have been supplied by George V. Reilly, Ben Singer, Ken Scott and 
Ron Aaron; they have been tested.  The Cygnus one doesn't fully work yet. 
With Cygnus gcc you can also use the Unix Makefile instead (you need to get 
the Unix archive then). 
 
You can also use the Visual C++ IDE: use File/Open workspace, select the 
Gvim_vc.mak file, then select Build/Build all.  This builds the GUI version 
by default. 
 
Vim for Win32 compiles with the Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 compiler and later, 
and with the Borland C++ 4.5 32-bit compiler and later.  It compiles on 
Windows 95 and all four NT platforms: i386, Alpha, MIPS, and PowerPC.  The 
NT/i386 and the Windows 95 binaries are identical.  Use Makefile.w32 to 
compile with Visual C++ and Makefile.bor to compile with Borland C++. 
 
For compiling Gvim with IME support on far-east Windows, uncomment the 
MULTI_BYTE_IME define in the src/feature.h file before compiling. 
 
The Win32 console binary was compiled with Visual C++ version 5.0, using 
Makefile.w32 and makefile.bor (Borland C).  Other compilers should also work.   
If you get all kinds of strange error messages when compiling (you shouldn't  
with the Microsoft or Borland 32-bit compilers), try adding  characters  
at the end of each line. 
 
You probably need to run "vcvars32" before using "nmake". 
 
For making the Win32s version, you need Microsoft Visual C++ 4.1 OR EARLIER. 
In version 4.2 support for Win32s was dropped!  Use this command: 
	nmake -f Makefile.w32 GUI=yes 
 
See the respective Makefiles for more comments. 
 
 
3. Windows NT with OpenNT 
========================= 
 
(contributed by Michael A. Benzinger) 
 
Building Vim on OpenNT 2.0 on Windows NT 4.0, with Softway's prerelease gcc: 
1. export CONFIG_SHELL=//D/OpenNT/bin/sh 
2. Make the following exports for modifying config.mk: 
	export CFLAGS=-O -Wshadow 
	export X_PRE_LIBS=-lXmu 
2. Run configure as follows: 
	configure --prefix=/vim --bindir=/bin/opennt --enable-gui=Motif 
   If you don't have OpenNTif (Motif support), use this: 
	configure --prefix=/vim --bindir=/bin/opennt --enable-gui=Athena 
3. Edit Makefile to perform the following since the makefile include syntax 
   differs from that of gmake: 
	#include config.mk 
	.include "config.mk" 
4. Change all install links to be "ln -f" and not "ln -s". 
5. Change to the 'ctags' directory and configure. 
6. Edit the Makefile and remove spurious spaces from lines 99 and 114. 
7. Change slink to "ln -f" from "ln -s". 
8. Return to the src directory. 
9. make
