README_mac.txt for version 8.0 of Vim: Vi IMproved.

This file explains the installation of MacVim.
See "README.txt" for general information about Vim.
See "src/MacVim/README" for an overview of the MacVim specific source code.

MacVim uses the usual configure/make steps to build the binary but instead of
"make install" you just drag the app bundle into the directory you wish to
install in (usually `/Applications').


How to build and install
How to install MacVim?
========================

Run `./configure` in the `src/` directory with the flags you want (call
`./configure --help` to see a list of flags) e.g.:

$ cd src
$ ./configure --with-features=huge \
--enable-rubyinterp \
--enable-pythoninterp \
--enable-perlinterp \
--enable-cscope
Download MacVim.dmg from latest binary release page https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/releases/latest , open the dmg file, and copy MacVim.app to /Applications.

Now build the project using `make`:

$ make

The resulting app bundle will reside under `MacVim/build/Release`. To try it
out quickly, type:

$ open MacVim/build/Release/MacVim.app
