2.2.4. Build Vim
Before building look through notes for MinGW in part 3 below.
Go to the source directory of Vim, then execute the make command. E.g.:
CC=clang
CXX=clang++
make -f Make_ming.mak
make -f Make_ming.mak GUI=yes
make -f Make_ming.mak GUI=no DEBUG=yes
NOTE: you can't execute vim.exe in the MSYS2 console, open a normal Windows
console for that.
To build Vim with the address sanitizer (ASAN), execute the following command:
make -f Make_ming.mak DEBUG=yes ASAN=yes
