This builds a one-click install for Vim for MS Windows using the Nullsoft Installation System (NSIS), available at https://nsis.sourceforge.net/ To build the installable .exe file: 1. Unpack three archives: PC sources PC runtime PC language files You can generate these from the Unix sources and runtime plus the extra archive (see the Makefile in the top directory). 2. Go to the src directory and build: gvim.exe (the OLE version), vimrun.exe, install.exe, uninstall.exe, tee/tee.exe, xxd/xxd.exe Then execute tools/rename.bat to rename the executables. 3. Go to the GvimExt directory and build gvimext.dll (or get it from a binary archive). Both 64- and 32-bit versions are needed and should be placed as follows: 64-bit: src/GvimExt/gvimext64.dll 32-bit: src/GvimExt/gvimext.dll 4. Get a "diff.exe" program. If you skip this the built-in diff will always be used (which is fine for most users). You can find one in previous Vim versions or in this archive: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9edk4g3xvfgzby0/diff4Vim.zip/file When will you have "diff.exe" put it in the "../.." directory (above the "vim91" directory, it's the same for all Vim versions). However, you can specify another directory by passing /DVIMTOOLS=<dir> option to the "makensis.exe" program via the command line. 5. For the terminal window to work in Vim, the library winpty is required. You can get it at the following url: https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/releases/download/0.4.3/winpty-0.4.3-msvc2015.zip For the 32-bit version, rename "winpty.dll" from ia32/bin to "winpty32.dll", and for the 64-bit version — "winpty.dll" from x64/bin to "winpty64.dll". Put the renamed file and "winpty-agent.exe" in "../.." (above the "vim91" directory). However, you can specify another directory by passing /DVIMTOOLS=<dir> option to the "makensis.exe" program via the command line. 6. To use stronger encryption, add the Sodium library. You can get it here: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/releases/download/1.0.19-RELEASE/libsodium-1.0.19-msvc.zip Unpack the archive. Put the "libsodium.dll" from path/to/libsodium/Win32/Release/v143/dynamic for the 32‐bit version or path/to/libsodium/X64/Release/v143/dynamic for the 64‐bit version in the "../.." directory (above the "vim91" directory, where "diff.exe" and "winpty{32|64}.dll"). 7. On MS Windows do "nmake.exe -f Make_mvc.mak uganda.nsis.txt" in runtime/doc. On Unix-like system do "make runtime/doc/uganda.nsis.txt" in top directory or "make uganda.nsis.txt" in runtime/doc. The created files "uganda.nsis.???" will be automatically converted to DOS file format. 8. Get gettext and iconv DLLs from the following site: https://github.com/mlocati/gettext-iconv-windows/releases Both 64- and 32-bit versions are needed. Download the files gettextX.X.X.X-iconvX.XX-shared-{32,64}.zip, extract DLLs and place them as follows: <GETTEXT directory> | + gettext32/ | libintl-8.dll | libiconv-2.dll | libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll | + gettext64/ libintl-8.dll libiconv-2.dll The default <GETTEXT directory> is "..", however, you can specify another directory by passing /DGETTEXT=<dir> option to "makensis.exe" program via the command line. Install NSIS if you didn't do that already. Download Unicode version the ShellExecAsUser plug-in for NSIS from: https://nsis.sourceforge.io/ShellExecAsUser_plug-in and put ShellExecAsUser.dll to path\to\NSIS\Plugins\x86-unicode Unpack the images: cd nsis unzip icons.zip or 7z x icons.zip (on Unix-like or MS Windows) WinRar.exe x icons.zip (on MS Windows) Then build gvim.exe: cd nsis makensis.exe [options] gvim.nsi Options (not mandatory): /DVIMSRC=<dir> — directory where location of gvim_ole.exe, vimw32.exe, GvimExt/*, etc. /DVIMRT=<dir> — directory where location of runtime files /DVIMTOOLS=<dir> — directory where location of extra tools: diff.exe, winpty{32|64}.dll, winpty-agent.exe, libsodium.dll /DGETTEXT=<dir> — directory where location of gettext libraries /DHAVE_UPX=1 — additional compression of the installer. UPX program must be installed. /DHAVE_NLS=0 — do not add native language support /DHAVE_MULTI_LANG=0 — to create an English-only the installer /DWIN64=1 — to create a 64-bit the installer
