[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/AlexandreCarlton/vim-built-with-docker.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/AlexandreCarlton/vim-built-with-docker)

An experiment in building Vim inside a CentOS 7 Docker container.

## Motivation

Building vim requires pulling in a number of dependencies, most of which

consist of development headers that are ultimately unneeded after building it.

This represents a clean way to do so.

It is important to note that the resulting vim binary will only work if the

necessary libraries are installed.

## Building

A shim [`Makefile`](Makefile) can be used to build both the image and vim, and

install the latter:

```bash

$ make

$ make install

```

## Installing

By default, the prefix to which vim is installed is `~/.local`. This can be

changed by setting `PREFIX`:

```bash

$ make install PREFIX=/usr/local

```

However, elevated permissions may be needed if installing to a write-protected

location.

## Upgrading

Should it be necessary to upgrade to a newer version of vim, we can uninstall

and then explicitly install a different version by overriding the `VERSION`

variable:

```bash

$ make uninstall

$ make install VERSION=8.0.1202

```
