cd .../src
make
+ make test
+ sudo make install
- This will create a working Vim.app application bundle in the src
+ "make" will create a working Vim.app application bundle in the src
directory. You can move this bundle (the Vim.app directory) anywhere
- you want. Or use this command to move it to /Applications:
- make install
+ you want. Or use "make install" to move it to /Applications.
You need at least Xcode 1.5 to compile Vim 7.0.
