Hi, I recently updated some of my ports (due to the fact that I now have a high speed connection to the Internet at home). One of the ports I updated was vim. I used portupgrade -r <vim_port_name> and let it do its thing. All went well, but now gvim no longer exists. When I was try to execute it, I get, "E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time". I've built vim at work simply from the source code from vim.org and I know how to build for GUI support. However, I'm not very familiar with the BSD make or the ports making process and couldn't find a clean way of defining, or in this case preventing the definition of, .if defined(NO_GUI) WITHOUT_X11= yes .endif I took this from /usr/ports/editors/vim/Makefile. How do I manipulate the ports build process to recompile vim with GUI support? I would rather use vim/gvim than any other editor and without GUI support, it's quite lame. By the way, after reading the response to my post about how to get portupgrade back, I went to look through the /usr/ports/UPGRADING file for vim notes. However, the only thing I found concerning vim was something to with vim-part, or something similar to that, with respect to the KDE distribution. There was nothing about the actual VIM port. Oh, nearly forgot, before this, I had vim 6.x installed from ports. I did have the GUI version before hand. Thanks, Andy
