VIM 6.2 ported to MorphOS
While playing with the MorphOS SDK today I quickly hacked some stuff together to get VIM 6.2 ported to MorphOS (native PowerPC code). I didn't had time making some binaries (maybe tomorrow).
So how does it work:
a) get the Amiga sources of VIM 6.2.0 from ftp.vim.org Runtime and Source.
b) get the MorphOS Diff that I hacked together from my page MorphOS Diff.
c) untar both Tarballs and patch my MorphOS Diff ontop of it.
optional:
d) get the subversion patches for VIM (currently 6.2.242) and patch them ontop of the VIM source (after my MorphOS Diffs got applied) one by one. You can automate this process of getting all patches at once with my GetVIM Script which you can find on my page GetVIM. It will download all the patches and create one big patch file out of them. After this has been done patch the big file ontop of the VIM source (ignore warnings and errors they are unimportant and usually related to missing files for Windows/BeOS/Linux).
e) compile VIM by entering 'make' in the vim/vim62/src Dir and enjoy the show.
To run VIM you need to do these things:
assign vim: ""
assign home: ""
And if it complains more assign it as well to "". VIM Amiga version wasn't maintained for quite some time due the broken machine of Bram Moolenar (the father of VIM who started it initially on Amiga). Maybe when I find more time I gonna fix all the stuff and even do a gVIM MorphOS version - dunno yet. It wasn't that special either but I do belive there are many people who use VIM on Linux and want to use the same powerful Editor on MorphOS.
