Compile vim with clipboard and xterm

You can see if configure manage to find a working X lib by checking the output of (or scroll through the output of configure in your terminal):

$ grep X11 src/auto/config.h
#define HAVE_X11

If configure failed then you'll see:

$ grep X11 src/auto/config.h
/* #undef HAVE_X11 */

You'll need to install the appropriate X development library like xlib and xtst for --with-x to work.

On ubuntu it should be enough to install libx11-dev and libxtst-dev.


ubuntu18.04.4

sudo apt install libx11-dev libxtst-dev libxt-dev libsm-dev libxpm-dev

./configure --enable-python3interp=dynamic --prefix=$HOME/.local --enable-rubyinterp=dynamic --enable-gtk2-check --enable-gnome-check --with-features=huge --with-x

make install

./src/vim ---version | grep clip
