README

These are Brian Gershon's personal dotfiles for Linux and OSX.

Installation

The latest are at http://github.com/briangershon/dotfiles

For Linux:

• I install these on Linux via my linux-desktop-ansible.

For OSX:

• I manually symlink the following files/folders into ~ with a . prefix: vim, vimrc, tmux.conf, bash_profile, bash_rc, gitconfig, rspec . For example ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim .vim

• I install MacVim via http://code.google.com/p/macvim/#Download and copy mvim shell helper into /usr/local/bin and then symlink vim to mvim so that Vim can be opened up in either GUI or terminal mode. Since I'm using a newer python from Homebrew, I have to setup an alias via my .bashrc so the YouCompleteMe Vim bundle works ok without a "Python quit unexpectedly" error:

  alias vim="DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE=1 DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.8_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/libpython2.7.dylib vim"

  alias mvim="DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE=1 DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.8_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/libpython2.7.dylib mvim"

• brew install the_silver_searcher for use Ag in CtrlP Vim plugin.

• brew install reattach-to-user-namespace for tmux and OSX Yosemite support

Then:

Custom bash scripts related to a specific machine or that are private can be placed in ./bashrc_private folder.

You need a global install of node and npm for "tern" Vim plugin. brew install node

On first install of Vim, run vim/sync-bundles.sh to bring down all the bundles.

Then compile dependencies for YouCompleteMe bundle.

Since I'm using a new python installed from Homebrew, I need to compile YouCompleteMe under the system Python. Plus add a line in .vimrc to point to the correct version of Python for YouCompleteMe to avoid "The ycmd server SHUT DOWN" errors: let g:ycm_path_to_python_interpreter = '/usr/bin/python'

cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/libpython2.7.dylib -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Headers . ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/cpp

./install.sh
