This is a simple script to build vim.
This will download the dependencies and source code.
This was written for, and should work on, ubuntu linux.
On a debian system you should be able to install all dependencies using the following command:
sudo apt-get build-dep vim
This command will be run by the builder by default.
If you wish to have a sudoless install then pass the --no-sudo flag.
git clone https://github.com/matthewfranglen/build-vim.git build-vim
cd build-vim
./build
The built executables will be available in a built/bin subfolder.
This will place the vim source code in a vim subfolder.
