Installing VIM8 from source on Debian Jessie
A note for myself ;)
Download from http://www.vim.org/git.php
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git
cd vim
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/vim8 --enable-multibyte -enable-gui=gtk3 --enable-gtk3-check --disable-gnome-check --disable-motif-check -disable-athena-check --disable-fontset --enable-fail-if-missing --without-local-dir
make -j4
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/stow/vim8
sudo chown -R peter:peter /usr/local/stow/vim8
make install
cd /usr/local/stow
sudo stow -v vim8
which gvim # => /usr/local/bin/gvim
