45 | + 10. Installing after building from sources | |
46 | + | |
47 | + | |
48 | The currently preferred method is using the free Visual C++ Toolkit 2008 | |
49 | |msvc-2008-express|, the produced binary runs on most MS-Windows systems. If | |
50 | you need the executable to run on Windows 98 or ME, use the 2003 one | |

59 | + 10. Installing after building from sources | |
60 | + ========================================== | |
61 | + | |
62 | + [provided by Michael Soyka] | |
63 | + | |
64 | + After you've built the Vim binaries as described above, you're ready to | |
65 | + install Vim on your system. However, if you've obtained the Vim sources | |
66 | + using Mercurial or by downloading them as a unix tar file, you must first | |
67 | + create a "vim73" directory. If you instead downloaded the sources as | |
68 | + zip files, you can skip this setup as the zip archives already have the | |
69 | + correct directory structure. | |
70 | + | |
71 | + A. Create a Vim "runtime" subdirectory named "vim73" | |
72 | + ----------------------------------------------------- | |
73 | + If you obtained your Vim sources as zip files, you can skip this step. | |
74 | + Otherwise, continue reading. | |
75 | + | |
76 | + Go to the directory that contains the Vim "src" and "runtime" | |
77 | + directories and create a new subdirectory named "vim73". | |
78 | + | |
79 | + Copy the "runtime" files into "vim73": | |
80 | + copy runtime\* vim73 | |
81 | + | |
82 | + B. Copy the new binaries into the "vim73" directory | |
83 | + ---------------------------------------------------- | |
84 | + Regardless of how you installed the Vim sources, you need to copy the | |
85 | + new binaries you created above into "vim73": | |
86 | + | |
87 | + copy src\*.exe vim73 | |
88 | + copy src\GvimExt\gvimext.dll vim73 | |
89 | + copy src\xxd\xxd.exe vim73 | |
90 | + | |
91 | + C. Move the "vim73" directory into the Vim installation subdirectory | |
92 | + --------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
93 | + Move the "vim73" subdirectory into the subdirectory where you want Vim | |
94 | + to be installed. Typically, this subdirectory will be named "vim". | |
95 | + If you already have a "vim73" subdirectory in "vim", delete it first | |
96 | + by running its unstal.exe program. | |
97 | + | |
98 | + D. Install Vim | |
99 | + --------------- | |
100 | + "cd" to your Vim installation subdirectory "vim\vim73" and run the | |
101 | + "install.exe" program. It will ask you a number of questions about | |
102 | + how you would like to have your Vim setup. Among these are: | |
103 | + - You can tell it to write a "_vimrc" file with your preferences in the | |
104 | + parent directory. | |
105 | + - It can also install an "Edit with Vim" entry in the Windows Explorer | |
106 | + popup menu. | |
107 | + - You can have it create batch files, so that you can run Vim from the | |
108 | + console or in a shell. You can select one of the directories in your | |
109 | + PATH or add the directory to PATH using the Windows Control Panel. | |
110 | + - Create entries for Vim on the desktop and in the Start menu. | |
111 | + | |
112 | + Happy Vimming! | |
