README_zOS.txt for version 7.4 of Vim: Vi IMproved.
|
||||
|
||||
This readme explains how to build Vim on z/OS. Formerly called OS/390.
|
||||
See "README.txt" for general information about Vim.
|
||||
|
||||
Most likely there are not many users out there using Vim on z/OS. So chances
|
||||
are good, that some bugs are still undiscovered.
|
||||
|
||||
Getting the source to z/OS:
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
First get the source code in one big tar file and ftp it a binary to z/OS. If
|
||||
the tar file is initially compressed with gzip (tar.gz) or bzip2 (tar.bz2)
|
||||
uncompress it on your PC, as this tools are (most likely) not available on the
|
||||
mainframe.
|
||||
|
||||
To reduce the size of the tar file you might compress it into a zip file. On
|
||||
z/OS Unix you might have the command "jar" from java to uncompress a zip. Use:
|
||||
jar xvf <zip file name>
|
||||
|
||||
Unpack the tar file on z/OS with
|
||||
pax -o from=ISO8859-1,to=IBM-1047 -rf vim.tar
|
||||
|
||||
Note: The Vim source contains a few bitmaps etc which will be destroyed by
|
||||
this command, but these files are not needed on zOS (at least not for the
|
||||
console version).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling:
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
Vim can be compiled with or without GUI support. For 7.4 only the compilation
|
||||
without GUI was tested. Below is a section about compiling with X11 but this
|
||||
is from an earlier version of Vim.
|
||||
|
||||
Console only:
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you build VIM without X11 support, compiling and building is nearly
|
||||
straightforward.
|
||||
|
||||
Change to the vim directory and do:
|
||||
|
||||
# Don't use c89!
|
||||
# Allow intermixing of compiler options and files.
|
||||
|
||||
$ export CC=cc
|
||||
$ export _CC_CCMODE=1
|
||||
$./configure --with-features=big --without-x --enable-gui=no
|
||||
$ cd src
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
|
||||
There may be warnings:
|
||||
- include files not found (libc, sys/param.h, ...)
|
||||
- Redeclaration of ... differs from ...
|
||||
-- just ignore them.
|
||||
|
||||
$ make test
|
||||
|
||||
This will produce lots of garbage on your screen (including error
|
||||
messages). Don't worry.
|
||||
|
||||
If the test stops at one point in vim (might happen in test 11), just
|
||||
press :q!
|
||||
|
||||
Expected test failures:
|
||||
11: If you don't have gzip installed
|
||||
24: test of backslash sequences in regexp are ASCII dependent
|
||||
42: Multibyte is not supported on z/OS
|
||||
55: ASCII<->EBCDIC sorting
|
||||
57: ASCII<->EBCDIC sorting
|
||||
58: Spell checking is not supported with EBCDIC
|
||||
71: Blowfish encryption doesn't work
|
||||
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
With X11:
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
WARNING: This instruction was not tested with Vim 7.4.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways for building VIM with X11 support. The first way is simple
|
||||
and results in a big executable (~13 Mb), the second needs a few additional
|
||||
steps and results in a much smaller executable (~4.5 Mb). This examples assume
|
||||
you want Motif.
|
||||
|
||||
The easy way:
|
||||
$ export CC=cc
|
||||
$ export _CC_CCMODE=1
|
||||
$ ./configure --enable-max-features --enable-gui=motif
|
||||
$ cd src
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
|
||||
With this VIM is linked statically with the X11 libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
The smarter way:
|
||||
Make VIM as described above. Then create a file named 'link.sed' with the
|
||||
following content (see src/link.390):
|
||||
|
||||
s/-lXext *//g
|
||||
s/-lXmu *//g
|
||||
s/-lXm */\/usr\/lib\/Xm.x /g
|
||||
s/-lX11 */\/usr\/lib\/X11.x /g
|
||||
s/-lXt *//g
|
||||
s/-lSM */\/usr\/lib\/SM.x /g
|
||||
s/-lICE */\/usr\/lib\/ICE.x /g
|
||||
|
||||
Then do:
|
||||
$ rm vim
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
|
||||
Now Vim is linked with the X11-DLLs.
|
||||
|
||||
See the Makefile and the file link.sh on how link.sed is used.
