Compile and configure gvim

(1) download the source code package from the vim official website.

(2) decompress, compile, and install the SDK.

#./Configure -- prefix =/usr/local/vim73 -- with-x -- enable-gui = gtk2 -- with-features = big

# Make

# Make install

# Make clean

# Make distclean

(3) vim7.3 is installed, but it is still the old version of the system when running vim, because the installation PATH/usr/local/vim73 of vim7.3 is not in the path environment variable of the system. Now, you only need to create a symbolic link to the PATH of the system using the executable file. I am linking to/usr/bin.

# Mv/usr/bin/vim/usr/bin/vim_backup

# Ln-s/usr/local/vim73/bin/vim/usr/bin/vim

(4) If vim is enabled to display Chinese garbled characters, edit ~ /. Vimrc

# Vim ~ /. Vimrc
