22<listitem><para><userinput>CPPFLAGS=-DSYS_VIMRC_FILE=\\\"/etc/vimrc\\\"</userinput>:
23This option causes vim to look for the <filename>/etc/vimrc</filename> file
24which contains vim's global settings. Normally, this file is assumed to be
25located in <filename class="directory">/usr/share/vim</filename>, but we
26feel that <filename class="directory">/etc</filename> is a more logical
27place for this kind of file.</para></listitem>

39<para>If you plan to install the X Window system on your LFS
40system, you might want to re-compile Vim after you have installed X. Vim
41comes with a nice GUI version of the editor which requires X and a few
42other libraries to be installed. For more information read the Vim
43documentation.</para>
