-
- <para>Compile the package:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>To prepare the tests, ensure that the
- <systemitem class="username">tester</systemitem> user can write
- to the sources tree:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput remap="test">chown -Rv tester .</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>Now run the tests as the <systemitem

-
-<!--<screen><userinput remap="test">LANG=en_US.UTF-8 make -j1 test &amp;&gt; vim-test.log</userinput></screen>-->
-
- <para>The test suite outputs a lot of binary data to the screen. This can
- cause issues with the settings of the current terminal. The problem can be
- avoided by redirecting the output to a log file as shown above. A
- successful test will result in the words "ALL DONE" in the log file
- at completion.</para>
-
- <para>Install the package:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>Many users are used to using <command>vi</command> instead of
- <command>vim</command>. To allow execution of <command>vim</command>
- when users habitually enter <command>vi</command>, create a
- symlink for both the binary and the man page in the provided
- languages:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv vim /usr/bin/vi
-for L in /usr/share/man/{,*/}man1/vim.1; do
- ln -sv vim.1 $(dirname $L)/vi.1
-done</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>By default, Vim's documentation is installed in <filename
- class="directory">/usr/share/vim</filename>. The following symlink
- allows the documentation to be accessed via <filename
- class="directory">/usr/share/doc/vim-&vim-version;</filename>, making
- it consistent with the location of documentation for other packages:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv ../&vim-docdir;/doc /usr/share/doc/vim-&vim-version;</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>If an X Window System is going to be installed on the LFS
- system, it may be necessary to recompile Vim after installing X. Vim
- comes with a GUI version of the editor that requires X and some
- additional libraries to be installed. For more information on this
- process, refer to the Vim documentation and the Vim installation page
- in the BLFS book at <ulink
- url="&blfs-book;postlfs/vim.html"/>.</para>

- <para>By default, <command>vim</command> runs in vi-incompatible mode.
- This may be new to users who have used other editors in the past. The
- <quote>nocompatible</quote> setting is included below to highlight the
- fact that a new behavior is being used. It also reminds those who would
- change to <quote>compatible</quote> mode that it should be the first
- setting in the configuration file. This is necessary because it changes
- other settings, and overrides must come after this setting. Create a default
- <command>vim</command> configuration file by running the following:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/vimrc &lt;&lt; "EOF"
-<literal>" Begin /etc/vimrc
-
-" Ensure defaults are set before customizing settings, not after
-source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim
-let skip_defaults_vim=1
-
-set nocompatible
-set backspace=2
-set mouse=
-syntax on
-if (&amp;term == "xterm") || (&amp;term == "putty")
- set background=dark
-endif
-
-" End /etc/vimrc</literal>
-EOF</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>The <parameter>set nocompatible</parameter> setting makes
- <command>vim</command> behave in a more useful way (the default) than the
- vi-compatible manner. Remove the <quote>no</quote> to keep the old
- <command>vi</command> behavior. The <parameter>set backspace=2</parameter>
- setting allows backspacing over line breaks, autoindents, and the start of
- insert. The <parameter>syntax on</parameter> parameter enables vim's syntax
- highlighting. The <parameter>set mouse=</parameter> setting enables
- proper pasting of text with the mouse when working in chroot or over a
- remote connection. Finally, the <emphasis>if</emphasis> statement with the
- <parameter>set background=dark</parameter> setting corrects
- <command>vim</command>'s guess about the background color of some terminal
- emulators. This gives the highlighting a better color scheme for use on the
- black background of these programs.</para>

- <para>Creating an empty <filename>~/.vimrc</filename> prevents vim from

- <note>
- <para>By default, Vim only installs spell files for the English language.
- To install spell files for your preferred language, download the
- <filename>*.spl</filename> and optionally, the <filename>*.sug</filename>
- files for your language and character encoding from <ulink
- url="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/"/> and save them to
- <filename class='directory'>/usr/share/&vim-docdir;/spell/</filename>.</para>
-
- <para>To use these spell files, some configuration in
- <filename>/etc/vimrc</filename> is needed, e.g.:</para>
-
-<screen><literal>set spelllang=en,ru
-set spell</literal></screen>
