Until about a month ago :help worked fine in vim, however now it gives: |
| 2 |
E433: No tags file |
| 3 |
E149: Sorry, no help for help.txt |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Initially I thought it was because I set -doc in USE, but vim does not |
| 6 |
use this use flag. |
| 7 |
Searching for this particular error produces loads of pages due to |
| 8 |
"tags file" matching lots of comments about vim. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I eventually found (from the VIM FAQ) that there should be a |
| 11 |
$RUNTIME/doc directory, |
| 12 |
which isn't present, despite putting "doc" in package.use for VIM, and |
| 13 |
upgrading it TODAY. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I 'fixed' it by |
| 16 |
# ebuild /usr/portage/app-editors/vim/vim-7.0.174.ebuild unpack |
| 17 |
# cd /var/tmp/portage/app-editors/vim-7.0.174/work |
| 18 |
(after some stuffing around with the Makefile and grep) |
| 19 |
# mv -v runtime/doc /usr/share/vim/vim70 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
and :help now works. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So, why isn't emerge putting the doc directory in place? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I've been reading the Makefile but I've not noticed any USE flag |
| 26 |
control (not that I understand how USE flags control the build). |
