Solved What's the command to install gvim?

[cola]

Is it pkg_add -r gvim or vim-gnome or vim-gtk or vim-x11?

 

[rusty]

Install the package psearch
# pkg_add -r psearch
Type in
% psearch vim and in the list you'll see

editors/cream             Gvim extension with many features

Then use the search http://www.freshports.org/ to see the relevant install commands, ie

http://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=cream

For psearch to work, you need to download ports as well

Haha, beer != logical thinking. Well spotted

Use [CMD=""]pkg_search[/CMD]
Install by:

pkg_add -r pkg_search

and honestly, don't take it the wrong way, but you REALLY need to RT(F)M.

And to avoid confusion. If means Fine

. Evidently, my dear smurf

Just for the record, cream != gvim. It's an extension or plugin to vim.

gvim is simply vim with a GUI. The vim port offers the option to install the graphical version or not.

All these years, I thought it meant FreeBSD.

 

[rname]

Well, .. but which command do i need to install GVIM?

 

[da1]

You replied to a 5y old thread. One might think you've already solved this issue.

A guess is that this post still comes up in certain search terms, probably something like FreeBSD gvim.

To rname if you look, you see that ckester gave an answer. When installing vim from ports, there should be an option add a GUI. However, looking at what one sees if you type make config in /usr/ports/editors/vim I do see some options such as support for Gnome and X11 Graphical support. So, maybe all of those? Looking, in the same directory at the pkg-plist file one sees that %%GUI%%bin/gvim is one of the files supplied, so I guess that if you put in some of the graphic support stuff--possibly just that X11 Graphical support option--you'd get gvim.

Install editors/vim. The GTK2 option is turned on by default. That means the package already includes it. If you're on a server and don't want X11/GTK2 and all the other dependencies (like Perl, Python, etc), install editors/vim-lite.

 

[tobik@]

Yeah, and the port has the GTK2 option enabled by default, so pkg install vim is enough to get gvim.
