-Sorry, this text still needs to be written!
+To build from sources, like on Unix
 
+1. Get the build tools: "clang" and "make".  These can be installed with the
+   "CommandLineTools" package.   If you don't have one, do
+	xcode-select --install
+   Just like for any software development with OS X.
+
+2. Get the source code.  Best is to use git (which you need to install first),
+   see http://www.vim.org/git.php
+   Or you can download and unpack the Unix tar archive, see
+   http://www.vim.org/download.php
+
+3. Go to the top directory of the source tree, do
+	make
+	sudo make install
+  A newly built vim will be installed under "/usr/local".
+
+
+If you can't manage to make this work, there is a fallback using Homebrew:
+
+1. Install Homebrew from http://brew.sh/
+2. Install latest Vim with:  brew install vim
