Vim 6.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to create a swpackage of Vim 6.2 from the source obtained from software portal site.
It also says that vim needs "gettext glib gtk+ libiconv xpm" as dependency -
The system is HP-UX 11.11.
Any one has some idea about the process one should follow - Greatly appreciate any help.

thanks

You can go back to here:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Editors/vim-6.2/

And click on the links for each of "gettext glib gtk+ libiconv xpm" and grab those depots, move them all to your HP box, and then install them all at once with a single run of swinstall.

Thanks - But since, all the binary depots are 32 bit, i am downloading the src and compiling it for 64 bit. IS there any order that I should compile and install these - thanks.

And all these are an absolute necessity to run Vim (since, i do not want to install any unnecessary depots).

I don't know how much of the dependant libraries Vim makes use of, but it doesn't appear you have a choice but to install all of them. To be safe, I'd compile and install the dependant stuff first; although I suspect any actual importance of order of events would be during the linking processes of the compile.

Hello,

Were you successful in compiling Vim and its dependants? I was able to successfully compile the dependants (gettext, libiconv, pkg-config) via gcc 3.3.1 by including the option '--disable-shared'; however, I encounter another 'ld' error in compiling 'glib-2.3.0'. I'd appreciate some feedback on your efforts. The pre-built binary did not work for us.

Why do you need to recompile for 64-bit? Most all 32-bit programs will run fine on hpux11.11 64-bit mode.

The only benefit for compiling 64-bit is
1) Need the large address space
2) Accessing OS specific information (like "lsof" does).

My 2 cents...

Hi

This the way I did it when I built the depot.

gettext
libiconv
gettext
xpm
glib
gtk+

Yes, I m not mistaking!! you need to install gettext twice. first time without libiconv as dependency, but the second time with libiconv as the dependency. also make sure you use glib-1x and gtk+-1x not glib-2x and gtk+-2.

I hope that helps
