patch 9.1.0609: outdated comments in Makefile Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/4c3616d7a2c8c3b828e4d4ebbcd43e4a22154262 Author: Shane Harper <shane@shaneharper.net> Date: Mon Jul 22 20:09:26 2024 +0200 patch 9.1.0609: outdated comments in Makefile Problem: outdated comments in Makefile Solution: update outdated comments, update rule for vimtags (Shane Harper) related: commit b81109192f Here are the changes and the reasons for them: - Delete the comment preceding the assignment to VIMPROG. Since b81109192f there's no need for VIMPROG to be set to something else when this is executed from src/Makefile. (The comment was wrong anyway; VIMPROG was being set to "$$BUILD_DIR/$(VIMTARGET)".) ``` # Set to $(VIMTARGET) when executed from src/Makefile. VIMPROG = ../../src/vim ``` - Delete "`and installed`" in the following comment; The vimtags rule doesn't require that Vim has been installed. ``` # Use Vim to generate the tags file. Can only be used when Vim has been # compiled and installed. Supports multiple languages. vimtags: $(DOCS) ``` - With commit b81109192f there is no longer a need to set VIMPROG here: ``` -@BUILD_DIR="`pwd`"; cd $(HELPSOURCE); if test -z "$(CROSS_COMPILING)"; then \ $(MAKE) VIMPROG="$$BUILD_DIR/$(VIMTARGET)" vimtags; fi ``` The new code below will use the same vim executable as the old code: ``` -@cd $(HELPSOURCE); if test -z "$(CROSS_COMPILING)"; then \ $(MAKE) vimtags; fi ``` - Delete the following comment which was related to setting VIMPROG as it no longer has any value: ``` # We can assume Vim was build, but it may not have been installed, # thus use the executable in the current directory. ``` Note: this comment used to be (unnecessarily) echoed to the terminal (because it was indented) when making installrtbase. closes: #15320 Signed-off-by: Shane Harper <shane@shaneharper.net> Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>

EVIM(1)                                                                EVIM(1)



NAME
       evim - easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless editing

SYNOPSIS
       evim [options] [file ..]
       eview

DESCRIPTION
       eVim starts Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless edi-
       tor.  This is still Vim but used as  a  point-and-click  editor.   This
       feels  a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows.  eVim will always run in
       the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar.

       Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal
       way.  Editing will be much less efficient.

       eview  is  the  same, but starts in read-only mode.  It works just like
       evim -R.

       See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc.

       The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly.
       Mappings are setup to make Copy and  Paste  work  with  the  MS-Windows
       keys.   CTRL-X  cuts  text,  CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text.
       Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V.

OPTIONS
       See vim(1).

FILES
       /usr/local/lib/vim/evim.vim
                      The script loaded to initialize eVim.

AKA
       Also Known As "Vim for gumbies".  When using evim you are  expected  to
       take  a  handkerchief,  make  a knot in each corner and wear it on your
       head.
