Hey everyone!

I wonder if there is a possibility to install vim on the Nokia N9. The builtin vi is nice, but I'm missing features like syntax highlighting, undo-redo functionalities, etc...
There seems to be no package in the official repositories:

Code:
~ $ devel-su
Password:
BusyBox v1.20.0.git (MeeGo 3:1.20-0.2+0m8) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
~ # apt-get install vim
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut
Status-Informationen einlesen... Fertig
E: Paket vim konnte nicht gefunden werden
~ # apt-cache search vim
~ #
I don't know how, but there surely is a way to compile vim source code for the N9. I'm not really familiar with gcc and co. Any ideas or links to tutorials?

Thanks!
