In first, you get vimproc from git repository.
http://github.com/Shougo/vimproc
Next, make external dll "vimproc_xxx.so(or vimproc_win32.dll, vimproc_cygwin.dll)". Because vimproc depends on "vimproc_xxx.so(or vimproc_win32.dll, vimproc_cygwin.dll)"'s function, vimproc echo error message when "vimproc_xxx.so(vimproc_xxx.dll)" don't exist.
Note: The vimproc_cygwin.dll compiled in Cygwin can't work for Windows Vim.
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
Below is Make command.
-
Windows using Mingw(32bit Vim): $ make -f make_mingw32.mak
-
Windows using Mingw(64bit Vim): $ make -f make_mingw64.mak
-
Windows using Visual Studio(32bit/64bit Vim): $ nmake -f Make_msvc.mak nodebug=1
-
Mac OS X using LLVM: $ make -f make_mac.mak
-
Old Mac OS X(llvm-gcc is not installed): $ make -f make_mac_old.mak
-
Linux/BSD: $ make -f make_unix.mak
-
Cygwin: $ make -f make_cygwin.mak
-
Solaris/Sun OS: $ make -f make_sunos.mak
-
Android: $ make -f make_android.mak
After compile, you copy autoload/* and plugin/* files to your
'runtimepath' directory (see :help runtimepath).
I compiled vimproc_win**.dll in 32/64 bit Windows, and distributed it below
URL.
Note: I DON'T recommend to use it. You should build dll files manually.

Note: Github dowonloads feature is deprecated. It may be deleted.
You can use Kaoriya Vim in Windows. It includes vimproc dll file. (http://www.kaoriya.net/news/2012/20121213)
If you use |neobundle.vim|, you can update and build vimproc automatically. http://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim
Example for neobundle: 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', \ }, \ }
