Vim colors in HP-UX

kheisler · #1 (**permalink**) 01-06-2006

I am using xterm on my HP-UX system (11i). Color is working in xtrem, i can see that with the -color option on ls. When I use vim's syntax high lighting, instead of colors, it uses underline and bold (which looks horrible). I added the following

Code:

if &term =~ "xterm"
       if has("terminfo")
               set t_Co=8
               set t_Sf=<Esc>[3%p1%dm
               set t_Sb=,Esc>[4%p1%dm
       else
               set t_Co=8
               set t_Sf=<Esc>[3%dm
               set t_Sb=<Esc>[4%dm
       endif
endif

to my .vimrc file, which caused the [3%dm and whatnot to show up all over the file, still no color.

Any suggestions?

Somewhat late perhaps

But this post came quite high in my google search for "vim colour hpux". And I've located a solution to this problem. Tip #222 - Building vim with color on HP-UX : vim online

Compile vim with ./configure --with-tlib=curses
and you're rolling with colours.
