[gentoo-dev] Where is kvimpart?

[Viktor Lakics]

I was very happy to see kvim is available for gentoo. I was also
exited about using kvimpart the embedded vim componenet (in kmail,
konqueror kdevelop, etc).

Unfortunately I cannot find it. Is it part of the kvimpackage? How
can I activate it?

Thanks in advance. -- Viktor

I submitted an ebuild for it, with a kvim one too, to bugzilla back on
September. You can see it on http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7691
I'm not sure if that version requires you download the kde-cvs ebuilds
available on http://cvs.gentoo.org/~danarmak/ since the cvs.eclass is
included in the main portage dir.
Give it a go and write me back if you have any problem.

Oh, before I forget, there are some issues with the vim executable you
can use for it work. It needs to be called just 'vim', not 'kvim' or
anything else, and it cannot be a symlink either. That' was the reason
for that different kvim ebuild I had done. You can work-around it,
copying '/usr/bin/kvim' to '/usr/local/bin/vim' (a hard link should
work too) and using that copy when configuring vimpart within kde's
control center.
Since that problem has not yet been fixed by the authors, who are aware
of it, maybe I, or someone else with more kde programming experience,
could try to fix it.

Be aware too that it has some problems, derived from the
non-understanding between Bram Moolenaar, main vim's author, and 
Philippe FREMY, now leading kvim development.

vimpart (not 'kvimpart') lives in the kde cvs kdeextragear-1 module, and is 
separate from kvim (in fact it can work with gvim too). There've been no 
packaged releases so far AFAIK, therefore there is no ebuild for it. It would 
merit a cvs ebuild, only I'm not maintaining these for the moment (kde 3.1 
release stuff) so that must wait. You can easily cvs checkout and build and 
install it yourself though.
