1. See also Christian's reply.
2. As of this writing, the latest Vim patchlevel is 7.4.1829. Maybe
it'll get even higher before you read this post, who knows? So yes,
maybe it is time to get a new build.
3. I am also on Linux and with me, compiling Vim goes like a breeze.
It's just a matter of making sure that all necessary "development"
packages are installed, and then getting the hang of it. See:
* http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial
-- Bram keeps the Vim source on GitHub now but Christian maintains a
Mercurial mirror at https://bitbucket.org/vim-mirror/vim , usually no
more than an hour behind, and I understand Mercurial better than git.
If you're of the opposite conviction, by all means keep your source on
a git clone but I cannot help you there.
* http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
-- I don't give the details of how to get all the necessary libraries
and their "development" packages because every Linux distribution has
a slightly (or sometimes not so slightly) different way of naming the
packages and getting them. If make doesn't finish, or if it does but
gives you a Vim with fewer features than you wanted, the place to look
for what went wrong is the configure log. (Just logging the
stdout/stderr for "make config" (which only configures) or "make
reconfig" (which also compiles) is usually enough, but there is
another, more verbose, log at src/auto/config.log (or
src/shadow/auto/config.log if you use a shadow directory).
-- Once the necessary packages are installed, your distro ought to
keep them up-to-date without any additional intervention on your part.
Best regards,
Tony.
