Notes

Vi Improved has a number of optional dependencies that are not available in MidgardOS at this time. These include:

Configuration

To configure Vi Improved for install into the build root, run the following command:

echo '#define SYS_VIMRC_FILE "/etc/vimrc"' >> src/feature.h
./configure --prefix=/usr                   \
            --libdir=/usr/lib64             \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib64         \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/vim-9.2 \
            --enable-year2038

Compilation and Installation

To compile Vi Improved, run the following command:

make

Next, run the test suite:

sed '/test_plugin_glvs/d' -i src/testdir/Make_all.mak
useradd -c "Test User" -u 1000 -U -m tester
unalias cp
cp -Rv ../vim-9.2.0219 /tmp/
alias cp="cp -i"
chown -Rv tester /tmp/vim-9.2.0219/
cd /tmp/vim-9.2.0219
su tester -c "PATH=$PATH autoreconf -fvi && TERM=xterm-256color LANG=en_US.UTF-8 make -j1 test" &> vim-test.log
cd -
rm -rfv /tmp/vim-9.2.0219
userdel -rf tester

One test out of the more than 7300 tests is failing due to a potential syntax issue in the test. For now, it is safe to proceed.

Finally, to install Vi Improved into the build tree, run the following command:

make install
ln -sv vim /usr/bin/vi
for L in  /usr/share/man/{,*/}man1/vim.1; do
    ln -sv vim.1 $(dirname $L)/vi.1
done
ln -sv ../vim/vim92/doc /usr/share/doc/vim-9.2

Configuration

Run the following command to install the initial configure Vi Improved for use:

install -v -m644 -o root -g root ../midgardos.github.io/docs/MidgardOS/system_files/etc/vimrc /etc/
