<p>As a Windows Admin by day, but a longtime vim and linux user, I've flocked to
|
|
Microsoft's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux">WSL</a>
|
|
like a moth to the flame. </p>
|
|
<p>Being a heavy vim user with a distaste for tmux (due to the incompatible
|
|
keybindings, PS, I know they can be changed to somewhat match vim), I was very
|
|
excited to hear about vim's new terminal feature in version 8.1!! I immediatley
|
|
installed the latest vim in Windows and it's cool. However I want a matching
|
|
linux version in the WSL, so I thought I'd write this quick article on compiling
|
|
for Ubuntu 18.04.</p>
|
|
<h1>Preperation</h1>
|
|
<p>You will need to install a few dev packages and build tools
|
|
before we get started. The WSL file-system isn't known for
|
|
it's speed, so do this prep work in the background while doing
|
|
something else.</p>
|
|
<p><em>Note, this build is doesn't contain any
|
|
requiremnts to build with the gui. If your looking for that,
|
|
try <a href="https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/wiki/Building-Vim-from-source">here</a></em></p>
|
|
<p><code>sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libatk1.0-dev python3-dev ruby-dev lua5.3-0 lua5.3-dev libperl-dev git build-essential</code></p>
|
|
<p>Clone the vim source tree </p>
|
|
<p><code>mkdir src cd src git clone https://github.com/vim/vim</code></p>
|
|
<p>Configure the source </p>
|
|
<p><code>./configure --with-compiledby="${USER}@$(hostname)" --enable-terminal --enable-python3interp --enable-perlinterp --enable-luainterp --disable-gui make</code></p>
|
|
<p>Install vim </p>
|
|
<p><code>sudo make install</code></p>
|
|
<p>Now go off into the sunset and happily vim.</p>
