| 3 This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an | |
| 4 executable version of Vim, you don't need this. | |

| 10 The file "feature.h" can be edited to match your preferences. You can skip | |
| 11 this, then you will get the default behavior as is documented, which should | |
| 12 be fine for most people. | |
| 13 | |
| 714 | 14 With the exception of the last two sections (Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS), |
| 15 this document assumes that you are building Vim for Win32 | |
| 16 (Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista and Windows 95/98/Me) | |
| 17 | |

| 29 | |
| 1668 | 30 The currently preferred method is using the free Visual C++ Toolkit 2008 |
| 31 |msvc-2008-express|. If you need the executable to run on Windows 98 or ME, | |
| 32 use the 2003 one |msvc-2003-toolkit|. | |
| 714 | 33 |
| 34 | |
| 35 1. Microsoft Visual C++ | |
| 36 ======================= | |
| 37 | |
| 38 Visual Studio | |
| 39 ------------- | |
| 40 | |
| 1608 | 41 Building with Visual Studio (VS 98, VS .NET, VS .NET 2003, VS 2005, and VS 2008) |
| 714 | 42 is straightforward. (These instructions should also work for VS 4 and VS 5.) |
| 43 | |
| 44 To build Vim from the command line with MSVC, use Make_mvc.mak. | |
| 45 Visual Studio installed a batch file called vcvars32.bat, which you must | |
| 46 run to set up paths for nmake and MSVC. | |
| 47 | |
| 856 | 48 nmake -f Make_mvc.mak console Win32 SDK or Microsoft Visual C++ |
| 49 nmake -f Make_mvc.mak GUI=yes GUI Microsoft Visual C++ | |
| 50 nmake -f Make_mvc.mak OLE=yes OLE Microsoft Visual C++ | |
| 714 | 51 nmake -f Make_mvc.mak PERL=C:\Perl PYTHON=C:\Python etc. |
| 856 | 52 Perl, Python, etc. |
| 714 | 53 |
| 54 Make_mvc.mak allows a Vim to be built with various different features and | |
| 55 debug support. Debugging with MS Devstudio is provided by Make_dvc.mak. | |
| 56 For a description of the use of Make_dvc.mak, look in Make_mvc.mak. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 For compiling Gvim with IME support on far-east Windows, add IME=yes | |
| 59 to the parameters you pass to Make_mvc.mak. | |
| 60 | |
| 61 To build Vim from within the Visual Studio IDE, open the Make_ivc.mak project. | |
| 62 (Note: Make_ivc.mak is not as rich as Make_mvc.mak, which allows for | |
| 63 far more configuration.) Make_ivc.mak can also be built with nmake. | |
| 64 | |
| 65 nmake -f Make_ivc.mak CFG="Vim - Win32 Release gvim" | |
| 856 | 66 GUI Microsoft Visual C++ 4.x or later |
| 714 | 67 nmake -f Make_ivc.mak CFG="Vim - Win32 Release gvim OLE" |
| 856 | 68 OLE Microsoft Visual C++ 4.x or later |
| 714 | 69 |
| 70 See the specific files for comments and options. | |
| 71 | |
| 72 These files have been supplied by George V. Reilly, Ben Singer, Ken Scott and | |
| 73 Ron Aaron; they have been tested. | |
| 74 | |
| 75 | |
| 1668 | 76 Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 *msvc-2003-toolkit* |
| 714 | 77 ----------------------- |
| 78 | |
| 1668 | 79 You could download the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 from |
| 714 | 80 http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ |
| 1668 | 81 Unfortunately this URL is no longer valid. Inofficial downloads appear to be |
| 82 available from links mentioned on these pages (use at your own risk): | |
| 83 http://www.filewatcher.com/m/VCToolkitSetup.exe.32952488.0.0.html | |
| 84 http://feargame.net/wiki/index.php?title=Building_Source_with_the_VC2003_Toolkit | |
| 85 | |
| 714 | 86 This contains the command-line tools (compiler, linker, CRT headers, |
| 87 and libraries) for Visual Studio .NET 2003, but not the Visual Studio IDE. | |
| 88 To compile and debug Vim with the VC2003 Toolkit, you will also need | |
| 89 |ms-platform-sdk|, |dotnet-1.1-redist|, |dotnet-1.1-sdk|, | |
| 90 and |windbg-download|. | |
| 91 | |
| 1569 | 92 It's easier to download Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, |msvc-2008-express|, |
| 93 which is freely available in perpetuity. | |
| 714 | 94 |
| 95 The free Code::Blocks IDE works with the VC2003 Toolkit, as described at | |
| 96 http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Integrating_Microsoft_Visual_Toolkit_2003_with_Code::Blocks_IDE | |
| 97 (This site also takes you through configuring a number of other | |
| 98 free C compilers for Win32.) | |
| 99 | |
| 100 To compile Vim using the VC2003 Toolkit and Make_mvc.mak, you must first | |
| 101 execute the following commands in a cmd.exe window (the msvcsetup.bat batch | |
| 102 file can be used): | |
| 856 | 103 |
| 714 | 104 set PATH=%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322;%PATH% |
| 105 call "%VCToolkitInstallDir%vcvars32.bat" | |
| 106 set MSVCVer=7.1 | |
| 107 call "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Platform SDK\SetEnv.Cmd" | |
| 108 set LIB=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\lib;%LIB% | |
| 109 | |
| 110 Now you can build Vim with Make_mvc.mak. | |
| 111 | |
| 112 | |
| 856 | 113 Getting the Windows Platform SDK *ms-platform-sdk* |
| 714 | 114 |
| 115 You will also need a copy of the Windows Platform SDK from | |
| 116 http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ | |
| 117 Specifically, you need the Windows Core SDK subset of the Platform SDK, | |
| 118 which contains the Windows headers and libraries. | |
| 119 | |
| 120 | |
| 121 Getting the .NET Framework 1.1 Runtime *dotnet-1.1-redist* | |
| 122 | |
| 123 You need the .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package from | |
| 124 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3 | |
| 125 or from Windows Update: | |
| 126 http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ | |
| 127 This is needed to install |dotnet-1.1-sdk|. It also contains cvtres.exe, | |
| 128 which is needed to link Vim. | |
| 129 | |
| 130 | |
| 856 | 131 Getting the .NET Framework 1.1 SDK *dotnet-1.1-sdk* |
| 714 | 132 |
| 133 You need the .NET Framework 1.1 SDK from | |
| 134 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9b3a2ca6-3647-4070-9f41-a333c6b9181d | |
| 135 This contains some additional libraries needed to compile Vim, | |
| 136 such as msvcrt.lib. You must install |dotnet-1.1-redist| before | |
| 137 installing the .NET 1.1 SDK. | |
| 138 | |
| 139 | |
| 856 | 140 Getting the WinDbg debugger *windbg-download* |
| 714 | 141 |
| 142 The Debugging Tools for Windows can be downloaded from | |
| 143 http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx | |
| 144 This includes the WinDbg debugger, which you will want if you ever need | |
| 145 to debug Vim itself. An earlier version of the Debugging Tools | |
| 146 is also available through the Platform SDK, |ms-platform-sdk|. | |
| 147 | |

| 838 | 152 Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition can be downloaded for free from: |
| 714 | 153 http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualC/default.aspx |
| 154 This includes the IDE and the debugger. You will also need | |
| 155 |ms-platform-sdk|. You can build Vim with Make_mvc.mak. | |

175 Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition can be downloaded for free from: |
| 1619 | 176 http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/Default.aspx |
| 177 This includes the IDE and the debugger. | |
| 1569 | 178 |
| 1619 | 179 To set the environment execute the msvc2008.bat script. You can then build |
| 180 Vim with Make_mvc.mak. | |
| 1608 | 181 |
| 182 | |
| 714 | 183 2. MinGW |
| 184 ======== | |
| 185 | |
| 186 (written by Ron Aaron: <ronaharon@yahoo.com>) | |
| 187 | |
| 188 This is about how to produce a Win32 binary of gvim with MinGW. | |
| 189 | |
| 190 First, you need to get the 'mingw32' compiler, which is free for the download | |
| 191 at: | |
| 192 | |
| 193 http://www.mingw.org/ | |
| 194 | |
| 195 Once you have downloaded the compiler binaries, unpack them on your hard disk | |
| 196 somewhere, and put them on your PATH. If you are on Win95/98 you can edit | |
| 197 your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with a line like: | |
| 198 | |
| 199 set PATH=C:\GCC-2.95.2\BIN;%PATH% | |
| 200 | |
| 201 or on NT/2000/XP, go to the Control Panel, (Performance and Maintenance), | |
| 202 System, Advanced, and edit the environment from there. | |
| 203 | |
| 204 Test if gcc is on your path. From a CMD (or COMMAND on '95/98) window: | |
| 205 | |
| 206 C:\> gcc --version | |
| 207 2.95.2 | |
| 208 | |
| 209 C:\> make --version | |
| 210 GNU Make version 3.77 (...etc...) | |
| 211 | |
| 212 Now you are ready to rock 'n' roll. Unpack the vim sources (look on | |
| 213 www.vim.org for exactly which version of the vim files you need). | |
| 214 | |
| 215 Change directory to 'vim\src': | |
| 216 | |
| 217 C:\> cd vim\src | |
| 218 C:\VIM\SRC> | |
| 219 | |
| 220 and you type: | |
| 221 | |
| 222 make -f Make_ming.mak gvim.exe | |
| 223 | |
| 224 After churning for a while, you will end up with 'gvim.exe' in the 'vim\src' | |
| 225 directory. | |
| 226 | |
| 227 You should not need to do *any* editing of any files to get vim compiled this | |
| 228 way. If, for some reason, you want the console-mode-only version of vim (this | |

229 is NOT recommended on Win32, especially on '95/'98!!!), you can use: |
| 2035 | 230 |
| 231 make -f Make_ming.mak GUI=no vim.exe | |
| 714 | 232 |
| 233 If you are dismayed by how big the EXE is, I strongly recommend you get 'UPX' | |
| 234 (also free!) and compress the file (typical compression is 50%). UPX can be | |
| 235 found at | |
| 236 http://www.upx.org/ | |

| 238 ADDITION: NLS support with MinGW | |
| 239 | |
| 240 (by Eduardo F. Amatria <eferna1@platea.pntic.mec.es>) | |
| 241 | |
| 242 If you want National Language Support, read the file src/po/README_mingw.txt. | |
| 243 You need to uncomment lines in Make_ming.mak to have NLS defined. | |
| 244 | |
| 245 | |
| 246 3. Cygwin | |
| 247 ========= | |
| 248 | |
| 249 Use Make_cyg.mak with Cygwin's GCC. See | |
| 250 http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm | |
| 251 | |
| 252 The Cygnus one many not fully work yet. | |
| 253 With Cygnus gcc you can use the Unix Makefile instead (you need to get the | |
| 254 Unix archive then). Then you get a Cygwin application (feels like Vim is | |

255 running on Unix), while with Make_cyg.mak you get a Windows application (like |
| 714 | 256 with the other makefiles). |
| 257 | |
| 258 | |
| 259 4. Borland | |
| 260 =========== | |
| 261 | |
| 262 Use Make_bc5.mak with Borland C++ 5.x. See | |
| 263 http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm | |
| 264 | |
| 265 | |
| 266 5. Cross compiling for Win32 from a Linux machine | |
| 267 ================================================= | |
| 268 | |
| 269 [Update of 1) needs to be verified] | |
| 270 | |
| 271 If you like, you can compile the 'mingw' Win32 version from the comfort of | |
| 272 your Linux (or other unix) box. To do this, you need to follow a few steps: | |
| 273 1) Install the mingw32 cross-compiler. See | |
| 2035 | 274 http://www.mingw.org/wiki/LinuxCrossMinGW |
| 856 | 275 http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cross/README.txt |
| 1619 | 276 2) Get and unpack both the Unix sources and the extra archive |
| 277 3) in 'Make_ming.mak', set 'CROSS' to 'yes' instead of 'no'. | |
| 278 Make further changes to 'Make_ming.mak' as you wish. | |
| 2035 | 279 If your cross-compiler prefix differs from the predefined value, |
| 280 set 'CROSS_COMPILE' corresponding. | |
| 714 | 281 4) make -f Make_ming.mak gvim.exe |
| 282 | |
| 283 Now you have created the Windows binary from your Linux box! Have fun... | |
| 284 | |
| 285 | |
| 286 6. Building with Python support | |
| 287 =============================== | |
| 288 | |
| 289 (written by Ron Aaron: <ronaharon@yahoo.com>) | |
| 290 | |
| 291 This has been tested with the mingw32 compiler, and the ActiveState | |
| 292 ActivePython: | |
| 293 http://www.ActiveState.com/Products/ActivePython/ | |
| 294 | |
| 295 After installing the ActivePython, you will have to create a 'mingw32' | |
| 296 'libpython20.a' to link with: | |
| 297 cd $PYTHON/libs | |
| 298 pexports python20.dll > python20.def | |
| 299 dlltool -d python20.def -l libpython20.a | |
| 300 | |
| 301 Once that is done, edit the 'Make_ming.mak' so the PYTHON variable points to | |
| 302 the root of the Python installation (C:\Python20, for example). If you are | |
| 303 cross-compiling on Linux with the mingw32 setup, you need to also convert all | |
| 304 the 'Include' files to *unix* line-endings. This bash command will do it | |
| 305 easily: | |
| 306 for fil in *.h ; do vim -e -c 'set ff=unix|w|q' $fil | |
| 307 | |
| 308 Now just do: | |
| 309 make -f Make_ming.mak gvim.exe | |
| 310 | |
| 311 and you will end up with a Python-enabled, Win32 version. Enjoy! | |
| 312 | |
| 313 | |
| 314 7. Building with MzScheme support | |
| 315 ================================= | |
| 316 | |
| 317 (written by Sergey Khorev <sergey.khorev@gmail.com>) | |
| 318 | |
| 319 Vim with MzScheme (http://www.plt-scheme.org/software/mzscheme) support can | |
| 320 be built with either MSVC, or MinGW, or Cygwin. Supported versions are 205 and | |
| 321 above (including 299 and 30x series). | |
| 322 | |
| 323 The MSVC build is quite straightforward. Simply invoke (in one line) | |
| 324 nmake -fMake_mvc.mak MZSCHEME=<Path-to-MzScheme> | |
| 325 [MZSCHEME_VER=<MzScheme-version>] [DYNAMIC_MZSCHEME=<yes or no>] | |
| 326 where <MzScheme-version> is the last seven characters from MzScheme dll name | |
| 327 (libmzschXXXXXXX.dll). | |
| 328 If DYNAMIC_MZSCHEME=yes, resulting executable will not depend on MzScheme | |
| 329 DLL's, but will load them in runtime on demand. | |
| 330 | |
| 331 Building dynamic MzScheme support on MinGW and Cygwin is similar. Take into | |
| 332 account that <Path-to-MzScheme> should contain slashes rather than backslashes | |
| 333 (e.g. d:/Develop/MzScheme) | |
| 334 | |
| 335 "Static" MzScheme support (Vim executable will depend on MzScheme DLLs | |
| 336 explicitly) on MinGW and Cygwin requires additional step. | |
| 337 | |
| 338 libmzschXXXXXXX.dll and libmzgcXXXXXXX.dll should be copied from | |
| 339 %WINDOWS%\System32 to other location (either build directory, some temporary | |
| 340 dir or even MzScheme home). | |
| 341 | |
| 342 Pass that path as MZSCHEME_DLLS parameter for Make. E.g., | |
| 343 make -f Make_cyg.mak MZSCHEME=d:/Develop/MzScheme MZSCHEME_VER=209_000 | |
| 344 MZSCHEME_DLLS=c:/Temp DYNAMIC_MZSCHEME=no | |
| 345 | |
| 346 After a successful build, these dlls can be freely removed, leaving them in | |
| 347 %WINDOWS%\System32 only. | |
| 348 | |
| 349 | |
| 350 8. Windows 3.1x | |
| 351 =============== | |
| 352 | |
| 856 | 353 make -f Make_w16.mak 16 bit, Borland C++ 5.0 |
| 714 | 354 |
| 355 Warning: Be sure to use the right make.exe. It should be Borland make. | |
| 356 | |
| 357 You will almost certainly have to change the paths for libs and include files | |
| 358 in the Makefile. Look for "D:\BC5" and "ctl3dv2". You will get a number of | |
| 359 warnings which can be ignored ( _chmod, precompiled header files, and | |
| 360 "possibly incorrect assignment"). | |
| 361 | |
| 362 The makefile should also work for BC++ 4.0 and 4.5, but may need tweaking to | |
| 363 remove unsupported compiler & liker options. | |
| 364 | |
| 365 For making the Win32s version, you need Microsoft Visual C++ 4.1 OR EARLIER. | |
| 366 In MSVC 4.2 support for Win32s was dropped! Use this command: | |
| 367 nmake -f Make_mvc.mak GUI=yes | |
| 368 | |
| 369 | |
| 370 9. MS-DOS | |

| 714 | 374 ren Make_bc3.mak Makefile; make 16 bit, Borland C++ and Turbo C++ |
| 375 ren Make_tcc.mak Makefile; make 16 bit, Turbo C | |
| 856 | 376 make -f Make_djg.mak 32 bit, DJGPP 2.0 |
| 377 make -f Make_bc5.mak 32 bit, Borland C++ 5.x (edit it to | |
| 378 define DOS) | |
| 7 | 379 |
| 380 Warning: Be sure to use the right make.exe. Microsoft C make doesn't work; | |
| 381 Borland make only works with Make_bc3.mak, Make_bc5.mak and Make_tcc.mak; | |
| 382 DJGPP/GNU make must be used for Make_djg.mak. | |
| 383 | |
| 384 The Borland C++ compiler has been used to generate the MS-DOS executable; it | |
| 385 should work without problems. You will probably have to change the paths for | |
| 386 LIBPATH and INCLUDEPATH in the start of the Makefile. You will get two | |
| 387 warnings which can be ignored (one about _chmod and one about precompiled | |
| 388 header files). | |
| 389 | |
| 390 The "spawno" library by Ralf Brown was used in order to free memory when Vim | |
| 391 starts a shell or other external command. Only about 200 bytes are taken from | |
| 392 conventional memory. When recompiling get the spawno library from Simtel, | |
| 393 directory "msdos/c". It is called something like "spwno413.zip". Or follow | |
| 394 the instructions in the Makefile to remove the library. | |
| 395 | |
| 396 The Turbo C Makefile has not been tested much lately. It is included for those | |
| 397 that don't have C++. You may need to make a few changes to get it to work. | |
| 398 | |
| 399 DJGPP needs to be installed properly to compile Vim; you need a lot of things | |
| 400 before it works. When your setup is OK, Vim should compile with just one | |
| 401 warning (about an argument to signal()). | |
| 402 | |
| 403 Make_bc5.mak is for those that have Borland C++ 5.0 or later. At the top of | |
| 404 the file, there are some variables you can change to make either a 32-bit | |
| 405 Windows exe (GUI or console mode), or a 16-bit MS-DOS version. | |
| 39 | 406 NOTE: multi-byte support is broken in the Borland libraries, not everything |
| 407 will work properly! Esp. handling multi-byte file names. | |

| 39 | 409 If you get all kinds of strange error messages when compiling, try adding |
| 410 changing the file format from "unix" to "dos". |
