README_mac.txt for version 7.3 of Vim: Vi IMproved.

This file explains the installation of MacVim.

See "README.txt" for general information about Vim.

See "src/MacVim/README" for an overview of the MacVim specific source code.

MacVim uses the usual configure/make steps to build the binary but instead of

"make install" you just drag the app bundle into the directory you wish to

install in (usually `/Applications').

How to build and install

========================

Run `./configure` in the `src/` directory with the flags you want (call

`./configure --help` to see a list of flags) e.g.:

$ cd src

$ ./configure --with-features=huge \

--enable-rubyinterp \

--enable-pythoninterp \

--enable-perlinterp \

--enable-cscope

Now build the project using `make`:

$ make

The resulting app bundle will reside under `MacVim/build/Release`. To try it

out quickly, type:

$ open MacVim/build/Release/MacVim.app

To install MacVim, type

$ open MacVim/build/Release

and drag the MacVim icon into your `Applications` folder.
