README_os2.txt for version 7.3 of Vim: Vi IMproved.
|
|
|
|
This file explains the installation of Vim on OS/2 systems.
|
|
See "README.txt" for general information about Vim.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You will need two archives:
|
|
vim73rt.zip contains the runtime files (same as for the PC version)
|
|
vim73os2.zip contains the OS/2 executables
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the directory where you want to put the Vim files. Examples:
|
|
cd C:\
|
|
cd D:\editors
|
|
|
|
2. Unpack the zip archives. This will create a new directory "vim/vim73",
|
|
in which all the distributed Vim files are placed. Since the directory
|
|
name includes the version number, it is unlikely that you overwrite
|
|
existing files.
|
|
Examples:
|
|
pkunzip -d vim73os2.zip
|
|
unzip vim73os2.zip
|
|
|
|
After you unpacked the files, you can still move the whole directory tree
|
|
to another location.
|
|
|
|
3. Add the directory where vim.exe is to your path. The simplest is to add a
|
|
line to your autoexec.bat. Examples:
|
|
set path=%path%;C:\vim\vim73
|
|
set path=%path%;D:\editors\vim\vim73
|
|
|
|
That's it!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extra remarks:
|
|
|
|
- To avoid confusion between distributed files of different versions and your
|
|
own modified vim scripts, it is recommended to use this directory layout:
|
|
("C:\vim" is used here as the root, replace with the path you use)
|
|
Your own files:
|
|
C:\vim\_vimrc Your personal vimrc.
|
|
C:\vim\_viminfo Dynamic info for 'viminfo'.
|
|
C:\vim\... Other files you made.
|
|
Distributed files:
|
|
C:\vim\vim73\vim.exe The Vim version 7.3 executable.
|
|
C:\vim\vim73\doc\*.txt The version 7.3 documentation files.
|
|
C:\vim\vim73\bugreport.vim A Vim version 7.3 script.
|
|
C:\vim\vim73\... Other version 7.3 distributed files.
|
|
In this case the $VIM environment variable would be set like this:
|
|
set VIM=C:\vim
|
|
|
|
- You can put your Vim executable anywhere else. If the executable is not
|
|
with the other distributed Vim files, you should set $VIM. The simplest is
|
|
to add a line to your autoexec.bat. Examples:
|
|
set VIM=c:\vim
|
|
set VIM=d:\editors\vim
|
|
|
|
