INSTALLmac.txt - Installation of Vim on Macintosh

This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an
executable version of Vim, you don't need this.

First, make sure you've installed Xcode or CommandLineTools.  If not, open a
terminal and do

	$ make --version

A window pops up instructing you to install the developer tools.

1.0 Considerations

 Only '/' is supported as path separator.

1.1 Terminal version (default)

 You can compile vim with the standard Unix routine:
   cd .../src
   make
   make test
   sudo make install

 You need at least Xcode 1.5.

 To overrule the architecture do this before running make:

	./configure --with-mac-arch=intel
 or
	./configure --with-mac-arch=ppc


1.2 X-Windows

 You must explicitly tell configure to use a GUI.

  cd .../src
  ./configure --disable-darwin --enable-gui=gtk2
  make; make install

 NOTE: The following GUI options are possible (but might not work):
	no (for terminal only), motif, athena, nextaw
	gtk, gtk2, gnome, gnome2,

 NOTE: You need to first install XFree86 and XDarwin.
