I've succesfully installed the developer tools from the ADC web site and tried to compile Vim 5.7 with them, but 'make' didn't work out.

I've got the source files (vim-5.7-src.tar.gz, vim-5.7-rt.tar.gz) from ftp.vim.org (sources for Unix).
After ./configure worked fine, I typed 'make' and got the following output:
[localhost:sh/vim-5.7/src] root# make
creating pathdef.c
cc -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -Wall pathdef.c
cc -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -Wall regexp.c
regexp.c:356: illegal external declaration, missing `;' after `)'
regexp.c:359: illegal external declaration, found `{'
regexp.c:383: illegal external declaration, found `if'

regexp.c:386: illegal method definition, missing `{' after `)'
regexp.c:387: illegal external declaration, missing `;' after `np'

regexp.c:388: illegal method selector, found `2'
regexp.c:393: illegal external declaration, found `return'
make: *** [regexp.o] Error 1

Does anybody know what to do, or do I have to read all those source files?

Thanks in advance.

I saw vim on the softrak over at stepwise. That seems to work. www.stepwise.com

Thanks for the link. It really does work with that source.

How did you get it to work? I too downloaded the source code from softrak, and got an error...see the "Compiling vim-5.7 source from softrak" thread.

Thanks,
