# Pre-download clean-up:
# Comment out $DISTDIR if you plan to re-compile more than once
# this session (modify the end of this script as well if you do!).
# Example: rm -rf $SRCDIR
rm -rf $SRCDIR $DISTDIR


# ---- End of User-Editable Bits ----
# Push the install dir's bin directory into the path.
export PATH=${INSTALLDIR}/bin:$PATH
# Setup needed directories

mkdir -p ${INSTALLDIR}
mkdir -p ${DISTDIR}

# Get all the required packages.
# Uncomment the following two lines if you opted to not
# clean out your DIST directory.

It might also be a good idea to apply all the current patches in the above script before building. Below is an example:

PATCH_LEVEL=192
cd ${SRCDIR}
wget ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/7.0.001-100.gz
gunzip 7.0.001-100.gz
for i in $(seq 101 $PATCH_LEVEL); do
   wget ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/7.0.${i}
done

cd vim${VERSION}/
for i in $(ls ../7.0.*); do
   patch -fp0 < $i
done

note: if you are going to add the above snippet to your vim install script to add patches, add it before the line

# Build it!
