| 21 | 1 MacOS X |
| 22 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 23 | |
| 24 | 1.0 Considerations |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Only '/' supported as path separator. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | 1.1 Carbon interface (default) |
| 29 | |
| 30 | You can compile vim with the standard Unix routine: |
| 31 | cd .. |
| 32 | ./configure |
| 33 | make; make install |
| 34 | |
| 35 | This will create a working Vim.app application bundle in the src |
| 36 | directory. You can move this bundle (the Vim.app directory) anywhere |
| 37 | you want, for example, /Applications. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | 1.2 X-Windows or Plain Text |
| 40 | |
| 41 | If you do not want the Carbon interface, you must explicitly tell |
| 42 | configure to use a different GUI. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | cd .. |
| 45 | ./configure --enable-gui=gtk2 |
| 46 | make; make install |
| 47 | |
| 48 | NOTE: The following GUI options are supported: |
| 49 | no (for text), motif, athena, nextaw |
| 50 | gtk, gtk2, gnome, gnome2, |
| 51 | |
| 52 | NOTE: You need to first install XFree86 and XDarwin. |
