ubuntu 14.04 编译安装 vim7.4

参考文献：http://www.vim.org/mercurial.php

1. vim的代码现在可以通过 Mercurial 来获得，步骤如下

sudo apt-get install mercurial 安装mercurial

以后可用一下指令更新vim到最新版本

cd vim
hg pull
hg update

2 编译安装
cd src
make distclean  # if you build Vim before
make

此时出现错误：

checking for stack_t... yes
checking whether stack_t has an ss_base field... no
checking --with-tlib argument... empty: automatic terminal library selection
checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
no terminal library found
checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND!
      You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
      Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.
make: *** [config] Error 1

可以通过安装ncurses-dev来解决：

sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

继续make

make install

至此vim7.4 安装完成

3 安装gvim

gvim 需要vim-gnome支持:sudo apt-get install vim-gnome

gvim 安装完成
