i got vim to run on haiku by removing the beos gui parts. 

I haven't yet applied it to the repository, as there seems to be a
general problem with our vim - it also doesn't work on BeOS for me. I
think that should be resolved before, and then it should also work on
Haiku, GUI or not.
The vim version that comes with BeOS, as well as a later one with GUI
do work on Haiku.
Anyone care to look into our vim issues?



May I propose to drop vim altogether? Don't get me wrong, I love vim
as an editor and I use it almost daily, however, it's a rather bulky
application for normal users. People that really want to use vim (=
powerusers) will know where to find it. Furthermore, it creates sort
of a mess in the /etc dir (which, I think, still is a very bad idea in
BeOSland).


    I second that.

Adi.
