| Bram Moolenaar | 8c8de83 | 2008-06-24 22:58:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | README_vms.txt for version 7.2a of Vim: Vi IMproved. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This file explains the installation of Vim on VMS systems. |
| 4 | See "README.txt" in the runtime archive for information about Vim. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Most information can be found in the on-line documentation. Use ":help vms" |
| 8 | inside Vim. Or get the runtime files and read runtime/doc/os_vms.txt to find |
| 9 | out how to install and configure Vim with runtime files etc. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | To compile Vim yourself you need three archives: |
| 12 | vim-X.X-rt.tar.gz runtime files |
| 13 | vim-X.X-src.tar.gz source files |
| 14 | vim-X.X-extra.tar.gz extra source files |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Compilation is recommended, in order to make sure that the correct |
| 17 | libraries are used for your specific system. Read about compiling in |
| 18 | src/INSTALLvms.txt. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | To use the binary version, you need one of these archives: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | vim-XX-exe-ia64-gui.zip IA64 GUI/Motif executables |
| 23 | vim-XX-exe-ia64-gtk.zip IA64 GUI/GTK executables |
| 24 | vim-XX-exe-ia64-term.zip IA64 console executables |
| 25 | vim-XX-exe-axp-gui.zip Alpha GUI/Motif executables |
| 26 | vim-XX-exe-axp-gtk.zip Alpha GUI/GTK executables |
| 27 | vim-XX-exe-axp-term.zip Alpha console executables |
| 28 | vim-XX-exe-vax-gui.zip VAX GUI executables |
| 29 | vim-XX-exe-vax-term.zip VAX console executables |
| 30 | |
| 31 | and of course |
| 32 | vim-XX-runtime.zip runtime files |
| 33 | |
| 34 | The binary archives contain: vim.exe, ctags.exe, xxd.exe files, |
| 35 | but there are also prepared "deploy ready" archives: |
| 36 | |
| 37 | vim-XX-ia64.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and |
| 38 | help files for IA64 systems |
| 39 | vim-XX-axp.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and |
| 40 | help files for Alpha systems |
| 41 | vim-XX-vax.zip GUI and console executables with runtime and |
| 42 | help files for VAX systems |
| 43 | |
| 44 | GTK builds need LIBGTK library installed. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | These executables and up to date patches for OpenVMS system are downloadable |
| 47 | from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/ or ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/ |
