How to build correctly?

[msdobrescu]

Under Gentoo there is no ebuild for goneovim, so I've tried building it manually. There is an already built package, but that one does not work under gentoo for missing some specific library version. So I've tried the following:

• fetched the git tag for v0.6.7
• built as instructed in the development section:

1. Clone this repo and cd into the repo
2. make qt_bindings
3. make deps
4. make app

The result is a smaller binary, of 9.5 MB, instead of 26 MB.

What am I doing wrong? What is the right procedure?

@msdobrescu Hi :) I believe the binary you generated is the correct binary. The binaries published in repository releases are static builds, which usually have a larger file size than a naive build.

So is it normal to start like this?

[akiyosi]

Yes. If Neovim is plain with no plugins installed, it will start in the style shown above.

[msdobrescu]

Where are those plugins?

@msdobrescu You can take a look at some things at the following

Thanks! I have expected to list the links to the ones in the screenshots here.

Ah, is that a screenshot of this repository? To be honest, I no longer know the exact list of plugins used in that screenshot. That screenshot is about 2 years old. I believe the colorscheme is the following.
