I have a new PC with Windows 7 that I want to use to build Vim for
distribution. It's a 64 bit system but I first want to build 32 bit
binaries.
I have installed MS C++ Express 2008, since the binaries from this
compiler run on most systems. Building the normal console and GUI
versions works fine.
Now building with all the interfaces. I installed:
Active State Perl 5.14 for x86
Python 2.7.3 (using Windows installer from python.org)
Python 3.2.3 (using Windows installer from python.org)
Ruby 1.9.2 (from www.garbagecollect.jp, see help file)
Rename include dir from 1.9.1 to 1.9.2
Remove check for _MSC_VER from config.h
Copy bin/msvcrt-ruby191.dll to C:\Windows\msvcrt-ruby192.dll
TCL 8.5.12 ActiveState Windows installer
XPM: get from the ftp site: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pcextra/xpm.zip
just unpack the zip archive and use the dir name
The Ruby install has 1.9.1 files even though I installed 1.9.2, very
confusing. I just renamed the files.
The XPM support now works thanks to Sergey.
I did some simple "hello world" tests and all appear to work, except
for Perl:
:perl VIM::Msg("Hello")
Vim crashes after printing "Hello".
Does anybody have an idea why the Perl 5.14 interface would load and do
something and then crash?

it's a bunch of indigestable junk that only clogs your system.
