Recently, I've installed vim
like so:
hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim
cd vim
sudo ./configure --enable-rubyinterp=yes --enable-pythoninterp=yes --enable-gui=gtk2 --prefix=/opt/vim
make
make install
make install clean
So, my VIM's binaries now live under /opt/vim/bin
. Here is ls -la
of this dir:
$ ls -la /opt/vim/bin
total 1500
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-05-25 12:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-05-25 12:46 ..

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13900 2011-05-25 12:46 xxd
Where is my vim.gtk
? I specified --enable-gui=gtk2
in configure. Shouldn't it say the installer I want a GUI version as well as console application?
I specified gtk
version correctly:
$ dpkg -l libgtk[0-9]* | grep ^i
ii libgtk2-perl 1:1.221-4 Perl interface to the 2.x series of the Gimp Toolkit library
ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2 The GTK+ graphical user interface library
ii libgtk2.0-bin 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2 The programs for the GTK+ graphical user interface library
ii libgtk2.0-common 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2 Common files for the GTK+ graphical user interface library
UPDATE: It is written on src/INSTALL
88 Unix: COMPILING WITH/WITHOUT GUI
89
90 NOTE: This is incomplete, look in Makefile for more info.
91
92 These configure arguments can be used to select which GUI to use:
93 --enable-gui=gtk or: gtk2, motif, athena or auto
94 --disable-gtk-check
95 --disable-motif-check
96 --disable-athena-check
97
98 --enable-gui defaults to "auto", so it will automatically look for a GUI (in
99 the order of GTK, Motif, then Athena). If one is found, then is uses it and
100 does not proceed to check any of the remaining ones. Otherwise, it moves on
101 to the next one.
So I tried not to specify --enable-gui
hoping it will find which GUI engine/toolkit to use on its own... Still the same result :(
UPDATE: Furthermore:
/opt/vim/bin$ ./vim -g
E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time
UPDATE:

– Ciro Santilli 新疆改造中心法轮功六四事件 – 2015-05-13T20:24:43.993Why are you doing "sudo ./configure [...]"? The configure script should not need to be run as root. I can understand doing "sudo make isntall", although you don't need to do "make install" and then "make install clean" as that would install Vim twice—just do "make install; make clean". – Heptite – 2012-01-16T19:11:24.970
You shouldn't need to install a bunch of random dev files. If the configure script can't find the libraries it needs, it will refuse to output a makefile.. Seems like your issue is with
configure
itself. I'd checkconfig.log
, and see how it handles the--enable-gui
option, etc. – jpaugh – 2013-05-07T10:30:07.550
