How I compiled Vim7 for OSX Tiger

I just did this to keep my Vim7 patched. I started out with the binary built at www.macvim.org.

Then I do this:

cd /usr/local/src svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/vim7

cd vim7/src

./configure \ --enable-perlinterp \ --enable-pythoninterp \ --enable-tclinterp --with-tclsh=tclsh8.4 \ --enable-rubyinterp \ --enable-multibyte \ --enable-cscope \ --with-features=huge \ --with-compiledby=my.addy@something.com

make make test sudo make install (this will install Vim.app in /Applications)

I then rename the original binary and copy the new one into /Applications/vim70

When patches come out:

cd /usr/local/src/vim7 svn update make make test make install

Move everything again...and I am up-to-date.
