Tony,
I've unpackaged all three archives, so now the
contents of the directory they are in looks contains
these files: vim70, vim70 2, and vim70 3. vim70 is
the regular Unix directory, 2 is extra, and 3 is
language. Am I supposed to put 2 and 3 into the
original? Am I supposed to move the contents of each
/src directory into the one in the Unix archive?
Thanks
You should have unpacked all three archives on top of each other into
the same directory, as explained in my HowTo pages (see URLs quoted at
the bottom of this post). Example (for Unix/Linux):
... download all 3 archives, then ...
mkdir -pv ~/.build/vim
bunzip2 -vf vim-7*.bz2
gunzip -vf vim-7*.gz
for f in vim-7*.tar ; do tar -xvC ~/.build/vim -f $f ; done
cd ~/.build/vim/vim70
mkdir patches
cd patches
ftp
... etc ... (download the patches)
quit
cd ..
patch -p0 < patches/7.0.001
patch -p0 < patches/7.0.002
... etc ...
patch -p0 < patches/7.0.032
vim -o myenviro src/Makefile
source myenviro
make > make.log
src/vim --version
make install >> make.log
For Windows, compilation is done with one of several makefiles
(Make-*.mak) in vim70/src depending on which compiler you're using, so
after patching the details are different. See my W32 HowTo for details.
Best regards,
Tony.

Hello,
VIM 7 currently has 22 patches. I just installed
7.0
yesterday, and now I'd like to install the
patches.
How might I go about doing that?
Thanks,
Rick

These patches are source patches only.
1) Get the full sources into some "development"
directory structure
different than $VIM/. These sources consist of
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.0.tar.bz2
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/extra/vim-7.0-extra.tar.gz
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/extra/vim-7.0-lang.tar.gz
Notes:
a) Get the .bz2 archive from the unix/ directory,
even if you run on
Windows or Mac. Whatever non-Unix sources you might
need are in the
other two archives.
b) I recommend getting all three archives, even
on Unix. This way you
won't get "file not found" errors in patch, and you
will have the
sources you need even if your feature list is
different than Bram's
(e.g., if you use +sniff).
c) On Windows, common archive handlers such as
WinZip don't know
about the .bz2 format. You will need a separate
bunzip2 program to
handle it.
2) cd to the top of that structure (a directory
named <something>/vim70
with a subdir named src in it
3) mkdir patches
4) Download everything in
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/ into
this newly-created "patches" subdirectory
5)
patch -p0 < patches/7.0.001
patch -p0 < patches/7.0.002
...
patch -p0 < patches/7.0.022
(On Windows, be sure you use the Cygwin version of
the "patch" program;
most other versions are known to choke on some or
all of the "official"
Vim patches.)
6) Compile Vim from your newly patched sources.
7) Check that your compile produced a working
executable with the
options you want:
src/vim --version
and/or
src/gvim --version
8) Install the results of your compile to
$VIMRUNTIME and (on Unix) to
some directory in the $PATH
For details, see:
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm
(for Windows)
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
(for Unix)
HTH,
Tony.
