This builds a one-click install for Vim for Win32 using the Nullsoft Installation System (NSIS), available at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ To build the installable .exe: 1. Unpack three archives: PC sources PC runtime PC language files You can generate these from the Unix sources and runtime plus the extra archive (see the Makefile in the top directory). 2. Go to the src directory and build: gvim.exe (the OLE version), vimrun.exe, install.exe, uninstal.exe, xxd/xxd.exe, Then execute tools/rename.bat to rename the executables. (mv command is required.) 3. Go to the GvimExt directory and build gvimext.dll (or get it from a binary archive). Both 64- and 32-bit versions are needed and should be placed as follows: 64-bit: src/GvimExt/gvimext64.dll 32-bit: src/GvimExt/gvimext.dll 4. Go to the VisVim directory and build VisVim.dll (or get it from a binary archive). 5. Go to the OleVim directory and build OpenWithVim.exe and SendToVim.exe (or get them from a binary archive). 6. Get a "diff.exe" program and put it in the "../.." directory (above the "vim80" directory, it's the same for all Vim versions). You can find one in previous Vim versions or in this archive: http://www.mossbayeng.com/~ron/vim/diffutils.tar.gz Also put winpty32.dll and winpty-agent.exe there. 7. Do "make uganda.nsis.txt" in runtime/doc. This requires sed, you may have to do this on Unix. Make sure the file is in DOS file format! 8. Get gettext and iconv DLLs from the following site: https://github.com/mlocati/gettext-iconv-windows/releases Both 64- and 32-bit versions are needed. Download the files gettextX.X.X.X-iconvX.XX-shared-{32,64}.zip, extract DLLs and place them as follows: | + gettext32/ | libintl-8.dll | libiconv-2.dll | libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll | ` gettext64/ libintl-8.dll libiconv-2.dll The default is "..", however, you can change it by passing /DGETTEXT=... option to the makensis command. Install NSIS if you didn't do that already. Also install UPX, if you want a compressed file. To build then, enter: makensis gvim.nsi
