Hi !
I got vim-6.4.tar.bz2 for ‘unix’ from vim.org
when I do:
I saw in src/ but there is only os_unix.h and os_unixx.h files
So, how to compile Vim 6.4 for qnx4.25 ?
PS. I saw gvim on vim.org, but I need console version.
Thanks for any help!
There is a prebuild version on the 3rd-party CD.
I think the “3rd-party CD” is about QNX6…
Woops sorry. From memory 6.2 built pretty much out of the box.
Third party cd content is available as free downloadable in QNX website as iso image and there is no need to compile vim to use it.
burn a cd with the iso image and using QNX software installer install vim. alternately you can install it using the command qnxinstall -r <vim_filename.qpr> at command prompt.
I need VIM for QNX4, not for QNX6. For QNX6 I have package and all works well.
Has anybody prebuild vim for qnx4?
PS. May be vim build for qnx4 is available in the net? Any links?
You need ‘vim-6.4-extra.tar.gz’ for ‘os_qnx.[ch]’ files.
Thanks. After download vim-6.4-extra.tar.gz, split with vim-6.4.tar.bz2 and use these recomendations - VIM succesfully compiled! But… 
Now I can run vim 6.4 under qnx 4.25. But :
After ':e / ’ command I have folowing → “~/” Illegal file nameStack Overflow at 007:00020D31
If I use some like ‘:e /home/osdrummer’, I see the list of files, but navigation fails after 2-3 jumps between dirs and I see the same fatal message.
If I mistake in command, like ‘:sldkflkjf’ Vim start to highlight all non-blanked strings with blue…so there is no any color comand work 
Any idea?
PS. For build I use and got folow…
./configure --enable-gui=no
./make
./make install
PS2. The ‘make’ output is…
Starting make in the src directory.
If there are problems, cd to the src directory and run make there
cd src && make first

As I said I need Vim version for qnx4. The 3dParty on your link - for QNX 6.
I’ve got some v6 vim for QNX4, but it has some strange mis-behaviour - it starts colorizing the text sometimes. Besides that - it works, I never ever had any SIGSEGV’s of other mishaps with it.
e-mail?
Besides my 6.4 build I have vim 6.1 private build which has similar behaviour. For example, after wrong command in command mode all non-blank simbols are highlighted in blue (in my case).
I heard that it’s because wrong TERM type (I have TERM=qnxm). And maybe because Dev32.ansi emulation mode (I use QNX emulation)
PS. I tried to change Dev.ansi mode and TERM to ‘ansi’…but after that color comand works curiously and VIM somewhere has sigsegv.
Mine (supposedly v6.1 too) goes all-red…
And how do you work?
PS. I can If I don’t do anything wrong in cmd mode. But It’s not easy
I’m just not so grand at vi-editing…
I never use anything beyond the very basic buttons.
