carmel@carmel:~$ cd programs/vim/vim74/ carmel@carmel:~/programs/vim/vim74$ ./configure --helpAnd you get
`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems. Usage: auto/configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]... To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables. Defaults for the options are specified in brackets. Configuration: -h, --help display this help and exit --help=short display options specific to this package --help=recursive display the short help of all the included packages -V, --version display version information and exit -q, --quiet, --silent do not print `checking ...' messages --cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled] -C, --config-cache alias for `--cache-file=config.cache' -n, --no-create do not create output files --srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..'] Installation directories: --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local] --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX [PREFIX] By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'. For better control, use the options below.

Report bugs to the package provider.
--prefix
I would like to install vim in a custom directory. This means that all the compiled binaries and libs will be installed under a custom directory and not in the usual locations.Why I do this? This lets me compile the program without using
sudoand this way I don't give root privileges to the make program.
Take a look at the user package manager out of the LFS project
The configuration says
By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
So I'll use that. Configure line now should be:
carmel@carmel:~/programs/vim/vim74$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
--enable-python3interp=yes
I'd like to enable python3 in this vim installation. I use it for Vdebug.
Configure line now should be
carmel@carmel:~/programs/vim/vim74$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-python3interp=yes
--with-python3-config-dir
You need this for vim to enable python. see this stackoverflow
--with-tlib=lncurses
For this you need to install ncurses.
I installed it with --prefix=$HOME so I'll need to let the configure script know where my libraries are
located. To do this I'll run
carmel@carmel:~/programs/vim/vim74$ export LDFLAGS="-L/home/carmel/lib"
and now I can add the ncurses part to the ./configure parameters
carmel@carmel:~/programs/vim/vim74$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-python3interp=yes --with-tlib=ncurses
Troubleshooting
- After running ./configure I get the following error:
carmel@carmel:~/programs/vim/vim74$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME ... checking --with-tlib argument... empty: automatic terminal library selection checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no no terminal library found checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND! You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses. Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.
This is because you don't have any terminal library. Vim is dependent on a 3rd party terminal library to display / edit your text files. During the ./configure phase it checks to see if you have one of the following libraries installed - 'tinfo', 'ncurses', 'termlib', 'termcap' or 'curses'. I never tried to work with any library other than ncurses so I usually install that and pass the lib to the --with-tlib=library parameter. See compiling ncurses
