Vim is under buildroot by default : package -> Text editors -> vim
I'm trying to install vim on apf9328, then I will explain on this page the story.
Contents
Source
The source of vim can be found on the official site here [1]. I downloaded it and unpacked on my /opt/ directory.
tar -jxvf vim-7.2.tar.bz2
Libraries
To be functional, vim need libc and ncurse. NCurse can be installed via buildroot in menu Package Selection for the target -> Graphic libraries and applications (graphic/text) -> ncurse. Once compiled, simply copy libncurses.a and libncurses.so on your /usr/lib/ target rootfs directory.
buildroot/project_build_arm/armadeus/root/usr/lib/libncurses.a
buildroot/project_build_arm/armadeus/root/usr/lib/libncurses.so
buildroot/project_build_arm/armadeus/root/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
Compiling
The first problem is to know how cross-compile vim on x86 platform for arm platform.
Some host packets are necessary to compile it :
sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev
There is a mail to explain how to do that here [2], I'm reading it and I will try this. According to the documentation I compiled with these options :
ac_cv_sizeof_int=4 \
vim_cv_getcwd_broken=no \
vim_cv_memmove_handles_overlap=yes \
vim_cv_stat_ignores_slash=yes \
vim_cv_tgetent=zero \
vim_cv_terminfo=yes \
vim_cv_toupper_broken=no \
vim_cv_tty_group=world \
./configure \
--build=i586-linux \
--host=arm-linux \
--target=arm-linux \
--with-tlib=ncurses
Don't forget to set your arm-linux-gcc path before, personally, I set it in my ~/.bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:~/armadeus/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/usr/bin/
And I make:
make
Once compiled, I tried to launch it via serial debug on nfs partition:
# cd /mnt/host/vim72/src
# ./vim
E437: terminal capability "cm" required
Press ENTER or type command to continue
But it seem to has some problems on serial debug, but throught ssh that work !
Launch it
With last version of armadeus (v3 rev940) that work well via nfs with :
/mnt/host/vim72/src/vim /etc/fstab
TODO
- Try to use it throught serial debug Done
- reduce size in minimum
- Use color
- Configure the strange behaviour with serial debug
- Make a buildroot package
