vimproc

vimproc requires a native extension to be built, and will not work properly if that library (a .so or .dll) is missing.

Supported platforms:

• Windows 32/64bit (Compiled by MinGW or Visual Studio)
• Mac OS X (10.5 or later)
• Linux
• Cygwin
• Solaris
• BSD (but cannot check)
• Android (experimental)

Not supported platforms:

• Other UNIX platforms

Install

Manual Install

• Clone this repo
• Build vimproc's native extensions (see Building for details)
• Copy autoload/* and plugin/* files to your 'runtimepath' directory (see :help runtimepath).

NeoBundle

If you use neobundle.vim, you can update and build vimproc automatically. This is the recomended package manager.

NeoBundle 'Shougo/vimproc', {
      \ 'build' : {
      \     'windows' : 'make -f make_mingw32.mak',
      \     'cygwin' : 'make -f make_cygwin.mak',
      \     'mac' : 'make -f make_mac.mak',
      \     'unix' : 'make -f make_unix.mak',
      \    },
      \ }

Pathogen

vimproc uses a pathogen compatiable structure, so it can be managed with pathogen, however you must remember to compile after cloning the repo.

git clone https://github.com/Shougo/vimproc.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/vimproc.vim
cd ~/.vim/bundle/vimproc.vim
make

Building

Note: You must use GNU make to build vimproc.

Linux

$ make

Mac OS X

$ make

Note: If you want to build for multiple architectures, you can use ARCHS and CC variables.

Build for i386 and x86-64:

$ make ARCHS='i386 x86_64'

FreeBSD

$ gmake

Windows

Note: In Windows, using MinGW is recommended.

Windows using Mingw (32bit Vim):

$ make -f make_mingw32.mak

Windows using Mingw (64bit Vim):

$ make -f make_mingw64.mak

Windows using newer version of Visual Studio(32bit/64bit Vim):

$ nmake -f make_msvc.mak nodebug=1

Windows using old version of Visual Studio for 32bit Vim (Ex: Visual Studio 2005):

$ SET INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Include
$ SET LIB=%LIB%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib
$ nmake -f make_msvc32.mak

Note: To build with Visual Studio, you must install Windows SDK.

Cygwin:

$ make -f make_cygwin.mak

Note: The vimproc_cygwin.dll compiled in Cygwin won't work with Windows Vim.

Windows Binaries

Precompiled vimproc_win**.dll for 32/64 bit Windows, can be obtained from the below URL. However, I DON'T recommend to use it. You should build dll files manually.

Kaoriya

Kaoriya Vim comes bundled with a precompiled version for vimproc
