Authors + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +1. Download files + +1.1. Visit the Vim ftp site (see ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS) + and obtain the following three files: + + unix/vim-X.X-src.tar.gz + unix/vim-X.X-rt.tar.gz + extra/vim-X.X-extra.tar.gz + + where X.X is the version number. + +1.2. Expand the three archives. + +1.3. Apply patches if they exist. (Patch files are found in the ftp + site in the "patches" directory.) + +1.4. You will need either the DECSET mms utility or the freely available clone + of it called mmk (VMS has no make utility in the standard distribution). + You can download mmk from http://www.openvms.digital.com/freeware/MMK/ + +1.5. If you want to have Perl, Python or Tcl support in Vim you will need VMS + distributions for them as well. + +1.6 If you want to have GTK executable, you need to have properly installed + GTK libraries. + +NOTE: procedure in chapter 1 describes source code preparation from multi OS +code, however it is available OpenVMS optimized (and tested) source code from: +ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/source/vms/ +(http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/source/vms/) + +Current OpenVMS source code as .zip or .tar.gz file is possible to download +from CVS mirror ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/cvs/SOURCE/ +(http://www.polarhome.com/cvs/SOURCE/) + +2. Configuration + +2.1. Edit vim-X.X/src/feature.h for your preference. (You can skip + this, then you will get the default behavior as is documented, + which should be fine for most people.) + + For example, if you want to add the MULTI_BYTE feature, turn on + #define MULTI_BYTE + +2.2 Edit vim-X.X/src/Make_vms.mms to customize your Vim. Options are: + + Parameter name : MODEL + Description : Build model selection + Options: : TINY - No optional features enabled + NORMAL - A default selection of features enabled + (OpenVMS default) + HUGE - All possible features enabled. + Uncommented - will default to NORMAL + Default : MODEL = NORMAL + + Parameter name : GUI + Description : GUI or terminal mode executable + Options: : YES - GUI executable + Uncommented - char only + Default : GUI = YES + + Parameter name : GTK + Description : Enable GTK in GUI mode. + It enables features as toolbar etc. + Options: : YES - GTK executable + Uncommented - without GTK + Default : Uncommented + + Parameter name : XPM + Description : Enable XPM libraries in GUI/Motif mode. + It enables features as toolbar etc. + Options: : YES - GUI executable + Uncommented - without XPM + Default : Uncommented + + Parameter name : DECC + Description : Compiler selection + Options: : YES - DECC compiler + Uncommented - VAXC compiler + Default : DECC = YES + + Parameter name : CCVER + Description : Compiler version with :ver command + Options: : YES - Compiler version info will be added + Uncommented - will not be added + Default : CCVER = YES + + Parameter name : DEBUG + Description : Building a debug version + Options: : YES - debug version will be built + Uncommented - building normal executable + Default : Uncommented + + Parameter name : VIM_TCL + Description : Add Tcl support + Options: : YES - Build with support + Uncommented - build without support. + Default : Uncommented + + Parameter name : VIM_PERL + Description : Add Perl support + Options: : YES - Build with support + Uncommented - build without support. + Default : Uncommented + + Parameter name : VIM_PYTHON + Description : Add Python support + Options: : YES - Build with support + Uncommented - build without support. + Default : Uncommented + + Parameter name : VIM_XIM + Description : X Input Method.

Compilation DECC + +3.1. If you have MSS on your system, the command + + mms /descrip=Make_vms.mms + + will start building your own customized version of Vim. + The adequate command for mmk is: + + mmk /descrip=Make_vms.mms + + NOTE: Because of empty /auto/config.h (needed for Unix configure) build + will fail with very strange messages. Therefore before building, it is + recommended to make one clean up, to prepare everything for OpenVMS + development. The command is: + + mms /descrip=Make_vms.mms clean + +4. Compilation VAXC + +4.1. VAXC compiler is not fully ANSI C compatible in pre-processor directives + semantics, therefore you have to use a converter program what will do the + lion part of the job. + + @os_vms_fix.com *.c *.h <.proto>*.pro + + more information can be found in os_vms_fix.com file itself. + + NOTE: even if os_vms_fix.com will fix all pre-processor directives it will + leave single (long) line directives. You have to fix them manually. + Known problematic files are option.h and option.c + +4.2. After the conversion you can continue building as it has been described + above. + +5. CTAGS, XXD + +5.1. MMS_VIM.EXE is building together with VIM.EXE, but for CTAGS.EXE and + XXD.EXE you should change to subdirectory <.CTAGS> or <.XXD> and build + them separately. + +5.2. In these directories you can find one make file for VMS as well. + Please read the detailed build instructions in the related *.MMS file. + +6. Deployment + +6.1. Copy over all executables to the deployment directory. + +6.2. Vim uses a special directory structure to hold the document and runtime + files: + + vim (or wherever) + |-- doc + |-- syntax + vimrc (system rc files) + gvimrc + +6.3 Define logicals VIM + + define/nolog VIM device:[leading-path-here.vim] + + to get vim.exe to find its document, filetype, and syntax files. + + Now, if you are lucky you should have one own built, customized and + working Vim. + +7. GTK and other features + +7.1 General notes + + To be able to build external GUI or language support you have to enable + related feature in MAKE_VMS.MMS file. Usually it needs some extra tuning + around include files, shared libraries etc. + + Please note, that leading "," are valuable for MMS/MMK syntax. + + MAKE_VMS.MMS uses defines as described below: + +7.1.1 feature_DEF = ,"SOME_FEATURE" + + Submits definition to compiler preprocessor to enable code blocks + defined with + #ifdef SOME_FEATURE + {some code here} + #endif + + Example: TCL_DEF = ,"FEAT_TCL" + + +7.1.2 feature_SRC = code1.c code2.c + + Defines source code related with particular feature. + Example: TCL_SRC = if_tcl.c + +7.1.3 feature_OBJ = code1.obj code2.obj + + Lists objects created from source codes listed in feature_SRC + Example: PERL_OBJ = if_perlsfio.obj if_perl.obj + +7.1.4 feature_LIB = ,OS_VMS_TCL.OPT/OPT + + Defines the libraries that have to be used for build. + If it is an OPT file then MAKE_VMS.MMS creates OPT files + in gen_feature procedure. + + Example: + PERL_LIB = ,OS_VMS_PERL.OPT/OPT + +.IFDEF VIM_PERL +perl_env : + -@ write sys$output "creating OS_VMS_PERL.OPT file." + -@ open/write opt_file OS_VMS_PERL.OPT + -@ write opt_file "PERLSHR /share" + -@ close opt_file +.ELSE +perl_env : + -@ ! +.ENDIF + + +7.1.5 feature_INC = ,dka0:[tcl80.generic] + + Defines the directory where the necessary include files are. + Example: TCL_INC = ,dka0:[tcl80.generic] + +7.2 GTK + + To build VIM with GTK you have to install GTK on your OpenVMS. + So far it works just on Alpha and IA64. More information at: + http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/products/ips/gtk.html + + You also need the OpenVMS Porting Library: + http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/products/ips/porting.html + + Source code for GTK and porting library that is used to build + VMS executables at polarhome.com are at + http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/source/vms/ + + Enable GTK in make_vms.mms file with GTK = YES + Define GTK_ROOT that points to your GTK root directory. + + You will need to edit GTKDIR variable in order to point + to GTK header files and libraries. + + GTK_DIR = ALPHA$DKA0:[GTK128.] + + ".]" at the end is very important. + + Build it as normally. + + Used shareable images are: + gtk_root:[glib]libglib.exe /share,- + gtk_root:[glib.gmodule]libgmodule.exe /share,- + gtk_root:[gtk.gdk]libgdk.exe /share,- + gtk_root:[gtk.gtk]libgtk.exe /share + + During runtime it is suggested to have all these files installed and + copied to SYS$LIBRARY: to be able to use it without problems. + Also VMS_JACKETS.EXE from OpenVMS Porting Library. + + Please note, that GTK uses /name=(as_is,short)/float=ieee/ieee=denorm + compiler directives that is not compatible with "standard" VMS usage, + therefore other external features might fail as PERL, PYTHON and TCL + support. + +7.3 PERL + + You have to install OpenVMS perl package from: + http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/products/ips/apache/csws_perl_relnotes.html or build on your own from sources downloaded from http://www.perl.org + + You need defined PERLSHR logical that points to PERL shareable image + (or you can just copy over to SYS$LIBRARY:) + + Enable Perl feature at make_vms.mms with VIM_PERL = YES + + Edit PERL_INC = to point to perl includes directory where is extern.h + + Build as usual. + +7.4 PYTHON + + You have to install an OpenVMS python package. + Set up the normal Python work environment. + + You have to have defined PYTHON_INCLUDE and PYTHON_OLB logicals. + PYTHON_INCLUDE should point to Python include files where for ex: + python.h is located. + Enable Python feature at make_vms.mms with VIM_PYTHON = YES + + Build as usual. + +7.5 TCL + + You have to install an OpenVMS TCL package. + Set up the normal TCL work environment. + + You have to have defined TCLSHR logical that points to shareable image. + + Enable TCL feature at make_vms.mms with VIM_TCL = YES + + Edit TCL_INC = to point to TCL includes directory where is tcl.h + + Build as usual. + +8. Notes + +8.1. New Compaq C compiler + + If you are using Compaq C compiler V6.2 or newer, informational messages + of the type QUESTCOMPARE will be displayed. You should ignore those + messages ; they are generated only because some test comparisons are done + with variables which type vary depending on the OS. Under VMS, those are + "unsigned" and the compiler issue a message whenever the comparison is + done with '<=' to 0. However, the code is correct and will behave as + expected. + ( Jerome Lauret Vim 6.0n ) + NOTE: from version 6.0ad Vim code has been reviewed and these warnings + have been corrected. + +9.
