| 6 This file contains instructions for compiling Vim on Openvms. | |
| 7 If you already have an executable version of Vim, you don't need this. | |
| 8 | |
| 9 If you skip settings described here, then you will get the default Vim | |
| 10 behavior as it is documented, which should be fine for most users. | |
| 11 | |
| 23047 | 12 The file "feature.h" can be edited to match your preferences, but this file |
| 7 | 13 does not describe possibilities hidden in feature.h acrobatics, however |
| 23047 | 14 parameters from MAKE_VMS.MMS actively use and set up parameters in relation |
| 7 | 15 with feature.h |
| 16 | |
| 23047 | 17 More information and case analysis you can find in os_vms.txt |
| 7 | 18 ([runtime.doc]os_vms.txt or :help vms from vim prompt) |

| 31 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 32 1. Download files | |
| 33 | |
| 34 1.1. Visit the Vim ftp site (see ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS) | |
| 35 and obtain the following three files: | |
| 36 | |
| 37 unix/vim-X.X-src.tar.gz | |
| 38 unix/vim-X.X-rt.tar.gz | |
| 39 extra/vim-X.X-extra.tar.gz | |
| 40 | |
| 41 where X.X is the version number. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 1.2. Expand the three archives. | |
| 44 | |
| 45 1.3. Apply patches if they exist. (Patch files are found in the ftp | |
| 46 site in the "patches" directory.) | |
| 47 | |
| 48 1.4. You will need either the DECSET mms utility or the freely available clone | |
| 49 of it called mmk (VMS has no make utility in the standard distribution). | |
| 50 You can download mmk from http://www.openvms.digital.com/freeware/MMK/ | |
| 51 | |
| 52 1.5. If you want to have Perl, Python or Tcl support in Vim you will need VMS | |
| 53 distributions for them as well. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 1.6 If you want to have GTK executable, you need to have properly installed | |
| 56 GTK libraries. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 NOTE: procedure in chapter 1 describes source code preparation from multi OS | |
| 1188 | 59 code, however it is available OpenVMS optimized (and tested) source code from: |
| 7 | 60 ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/source/vms/ |
| 412 | 61 (http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/source/vms/) |
| 7 | 62 |
| 63 Current OpenVMS source code as .zip or .tar.gz file is possible to download | |
| 64 from CVS mirror ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/cvs/SOURCE/ | |
| 412 | 65 (http://www.polarhome.com/cvs/SOURCE/) |
| 7 | 66 |
| 67 2. Configuration | |
| 68 | |
| 69 2.1. Edit vim-X.X/src/feature.h for your preference. (You can skip | |
| 70 this, then you will get the default behavior as is documented, | |
| 71 which should be fine for most people.) | |
| 72 | |
| 73 For example, if you want to add the MULTI_BYTE feature, turn on | |
| 74 #define MULTI_BYTE | |
| 75 | |
| 76 2.2 Edit vim-X.X/src/Make_vms.mms to customize your Vim. Options are: | |
| 77 | |
| 78 Parameter name : MODEL | |
| 79 Description : Build model selection | |

| 165 | |
| 166 You can edit the *_INC and *_LIB qualifiers, but it is really | |
| 167 not recommended for beginners. | |
| 168 | |
| 169 3. Compilation DECC | |
| 170 | |
| 171 3.1. If you have MSS on your system, the command | |
| 172 | |
| 173 mms /descrip=Make_vms.mms | |
| 174 | |
| 175 will start building your own customized version of Vim. | |
| 176 The adequate command for mmk is: | |
| 177 | |
| 178 mmk /descrip=Make_vms.mms | |
| 179 | |
| 180 NOTE: Because of empty /auto/config.h (needed for Unix configure) build | |
| 181 will fail with very strange messages. Therefore before building, it is | |
| 182 recommended to make one clean up, to prepare everything for OpenVMS | |
| 183 development. The command is: | |
| 184 | |
| 185 mms /descrip=Make_vms.mms clean | |
| 186 | |
| 187 4. Compilation VAXC | |
| 188 | |
| 189 4.1. VAXC compiler is not fully ANSI C compatible in pre-processor directives | |
| 190 semantics, therefore you have to use a converter program what will do the | |
| 191 lion part of the job. | |
| 192 | |
| 193 @os_vms_fix.com *.c *.h <.proto>*.pro | |
| 194 | |
| 195 more information can be found in os_vms_fix.com file itself. | |
| 196 | |
| 197 NOTE: even if os_vms_fix.com will fix all pre-processor directives it will | |

198 leave single (long) line directives. You have to fix them manually. |
| 7 | 199 Known problematic files are option.h and option.c |
| 200 | |
| 201 4.2. After the conversion you can continue building as it has been described | |
| 202 above. | |
| 203 | |
| 204 5. CTAGS, XXD | |
| 205 | |
| 206 5.1. MMS_VIM.EXE is building together with VIM.EXE, but for CTAGS.EXE and | |
| 207 XXD.EXE you should change to subdirectory <.CTAGS> or <.XXD> and build | |
| 208 them separately. | |
| 209 | |
| 23047 | 210 5.2. In these directories you can find one make file for VMS as well. |
| 7 | 211 Please read the detailed build instructions in the related *.MMS file. |
| 212 | |
| 213 6. Deployment | |
| 214 | |
| 215 6.1. Copy over all executables to the deployment directory. | |
| 216 | |
| 217 6.2. Vim uses a special directory structure to hold the document and runtime | |
| 218 files: | |
| 219 | |
| 220 vim (or wherever) | |
| 221 |-- doc | |
| 222 |-- syntax | |
| 223 vimrc (system rc files) | |
| 224 gvimrc | |
| 225 | |
| 226 6.3 Define logicals VIM | |
| 227 | |
| 228 define/nolog VIM device:[leading-path-here.vim] | |
| 229 | |
| 230 to get vim.exe to find its document, filetype, and syntax files. | |
| 231 | |
| 232 Now, if you are lucky you should have one own built, customized and | |
| 233 working Vim. | |

239 To be able to build external GUI or language support you have to enable |
| 18456 | 240 related feature in MAKE_VMS.MMS file. Usually it needs some extra tuning |
| 7 | 241 around include files, shared libraries etc. |
| 242 | |
| 243 Please note, that leading "," are valuable for MMS/MMK syntax. | |
| 244 | |
| 245 MAKE_VMS.MMS uses defines as described below: | |
| 246 | |
| 247 7.1.1 feature_DEF = ,"SOME_FEATURE" | |
| 248 | |
| 249 Submits definition to compiler preprocessor to enable code blocks | |
| 250 defined with | |
| 251 #ifdef SOME_FEATURE | |
| 252 {some code here} | |
| 253 #endif | |
| 254 | |
| 255 Example: TCL_DEF = ,"FEAT_TCL" | |
| 256 | |
| 257 | |
| 258 7.1.2 feature_SRC = code1.c code2.c | |
| 259 | |
| 260 Defines source code related with particular feature. | |
| 261 Example: TCL_SRC = if_tcl.c | |
| 262 | |
| 263 7.1.3 feature_OBJ = code1.obj code2.obj | |
| 264 | |
| 265 Lists objects created from source codes listed in feature_SRC | |
| 266 Example: PERL_OBJ = if_perlsfio.obj if_perl.obj | |
| 267 | |
| 268 7.1.4 feature_LIB = ,OS_VMS_TCL.OPT/OPT | |
| 269 | |
| 270 Defines the libraries that have to be used for build. | |
| 271 If it is an OPT file then MAKE_VMS.MMS creates OPT files | |
| 272 in gen_feature procedure. | |
| 273 | |
| 274 Example: | |
| 275 PERL_LIB = ,OS_VMS_PERL.OPT/OPT | |
| 276 | |
| 277 .IFDEF VIM_PERL | |
| 278 perl_env : | |
| 279 -@ write sys$output "creating OS_VMS_PERL.OPT file." | |
| 280 -@ open/write opt_file OS_VMS_PERL.OPT | |
| 281 -@ write opt_file "PERLSHR /share" | |
| 282 -@ close opt_file | |
| 283 .ELSE | |
| 284 perl_env : | |
| 285 -@ ! | |
| 286 .ENDIF | |
| 287 | |
| 288 | |
| 289 7.1.5 feature_INC = ,dka0:[tcl80.generic] | |
| 290 | |
| 291 Defines the directory where the necessary include files are. | |
| 292 Example: TCL_INC = ,dka0:[tcl80.generic] | |
| 293 | |
| 294 7.2 GTK | |
| 295 | |
| 296 To build VIM with GTK you have to install GTK on your OpenVMS. | |
| 412 | 297 So far it works just on Alpha and IA64. More information at: |
| 7 | 298 http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/products/ips/gtk.html |
| 299 | |
| 23047 | 300 You also need the OpenVMS Porting Library: |
| 7 | 301 http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/products/ips/porting.html |
| 302 | |
| 856 | 303 Source code for GTK and porting library that is used to build |
| 701 | 304 VMS executables at polarhome.com are at |
| 305 http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/source/vms/ | |
| 306 | |
| 7 | 307 Enable GTK in make_vms.mms file with GTK = YES |
| 308 Define GTK_ROOT that points to your GTK root directory. | |
| 309 | |
| 701 | 310 You will need to edit GTKDIR variable in order to point |
| 311 to GTK header files and libraries. | |
| 312 | |
| 313 GTK_DIR = ALPHA$DKA0:[GTK128.] | |
| 314 | |
| 315 ".]" at the end is very important. | |
| 316 | |
| 7 | 317 Build it as normally. |

319 Used shareable images are: |
| 7 | 320 gtk_root:[glib]libglib.exe /share,- |
| 321 gtk_root:[glib.gmodule]libgmodule.exe /share,- | |
| 322 gtk_root:[gtk.gdk]libgdk.exe /share,- | |
| 323 gtk_root:[gtk.gtk]libgtk.exe /share | |
| 324 | |
| 325 During runtime it is suggested to have all these files installed and | |
| 1188 | 326 copied to SYS$LIBRARY: to be able to use it without problems. |
| 7 | 327 Also VMS_JACKETS.EXE from OpenVMS Porting Library. |
| 328 | |
| 329 Please note, that GTK uses /name=(as_is,short)/float=ieee/ieee=denorm | |
| 4352 | 330 compiler directives that is not compatible with "standard" VMS usage, |
| 7 | 331 therefore other external features might fail as PERL, PYTHON and TCL |
| 332 support. | |
| 333 | |
| 334 7.3 PERL | |
| 335 | |
| 336 You have to install OpenVMS perl package from: | |
| 337 http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/products/ips/apache/csws_perl_relnotes.html or build on your own from sources downloaded from http://www.perl.org | |
| 338 | |
| 339 You need defined PERLSHR logical that points to PERL shareable image | |
| 340 (or you can just copy over to SYS$LIBRARY:) | |
| 341 | |
| 342 Enable Perl feature at make_vms.mms with VIM_PERL = YES | |
| 343 | |
| 344 Edit PERL_INC = to point to perl includes directory where is extern.h | |
| 345 | |
| 23047 | 346 Build as usual. |
| 7 | 347 |
| 348 7.4 PYTHON | |
| 349 | |
| 350 You have to install an OpenVMS python package. | |
| 351 Set up the normal Python work environment. | |
| 352 | |
| 353 You have to have defined PYTHON_INCLUDE and PYTHON_OLB logicals. | |
| 354 PYTHON_INCLUDE should point to Python include files where for ex: | |
| 355 python.h is located. | |
| 356 Enable Python feature at make_vms.mms with VIM_PYTHON = YES | |
| 357 | |
| 23047 | 358 Build as usual. |
| 7 | 359 |
| 360 7.5 TCL | |
| 361 | |
| 362 You have to install an OpenVMS TCL package. | |
| 363 Set up the normal TCL work environment. | |
| 364 | |
| 365 You have to have defined TCLSHR logical that points to shareable image. | |
| 366 | |
| 367 Enable TCL feature at make_vms.mms with VIM_TCL = YES | |
| 368 | |
| 369 Edit TCL_INC = to point to TCL includes directory where is tcl.h | |
| 370 | |
| 23047 | 371 Build as usual. |
| 7 | 372 |
| 373 8. Notes | |
| 374 | |
| 375 8.1. New Compaq C compiler | |
| 376 | |
| 23047 | 377 If you are using Compaq C compiler V6.2 or newer, informational messages |
| 7 | 378 of the type QUESTCOMPARE will be displayed. You should ignore those |
| 379 messages ; they are generated only because some test comparisons are done | |
| 380 with variables which type vary depending on the OS. Under VMS, those are | |
| 381 "unsigned" and the compiler issue a message whenever the comparison is | |
| 382 done with '<=' to 0. However, the code is correct and will behave as | |
| 383 expected. | |
| 384 ( Jerome Lauret <JLAURET@mail.chem.sunysb.edu> Vim 6.0n ) | |
| 385 NOTE: from version 6.0ad Vim code has been reviewed and these warnings | |
| 386 have been corrected. | |
