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, tee/tee.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. Get a "diff.exe" program. If you skip this the built-in diff will always be used (which is fine for most users). If you do have your own "diff.exe" put it in the "../.." directory (above the "vim81" 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 6 Also put winpty32.dll and winpty-agent.exe in "../.." (above the "vim81" directory). This is required for the terminal window. 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. Unpack the images: cd nsis unzip icons.zip To build then, enter: cd nsis makensis gvim.nsi
