Vim and Cygnus

Vim and Cygnus

[Shiv Kumar]

Hi

I am using Cygnus tools (cygwin 1.1) and Vim for my development (powerful
combination). My shell is bash and the cygnus root is D:/root.  Cygwin has
created certain mount points for convenience :

     $ mount
     D:\root\bin         /usr/bin            user         binmode
     D:\root\lib         /usr/lib            user         binmode
     D:\root             /                   user         binmode
     $ cat /tmp/x
     Test file
     $vim /tmp/x
     [New File]

Vim searches for a file called D:/tmp/x which does not exist.

Is there any way by which I can make Vim recognize cygwin mount points?

Thanks.

Yes.  Build it yourself under Cygwin or get a pre-built version from a site
at the "Related Sites" page of http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin .

The mail list archives are a good place to find answers to questions like
these...

You may be missing a tmp directory on D: drive.  Did you check?

I've found that if vim is installed anywhere but under the cygwin
hierarchy (c:\winnt\system32\ for example), it won't find anything
referenced in the unix way.  Make sure that vim is installed in
/usr/bin/.

Re: Vim and Cygnus

[Shiv Kumar]

Hi

I tried using this script for invoking vim, so that it understands Cygwin paths
:-

#!/bin/sh
echo $* | xargs -n1 cygpath -w | sed -e 's#\\#/#g' | xargs  vim -T win32

Two problems :

  1. It is very slow. That I can understand because so many things are done
     before Vim is actually invoked.

  2. Two, Vim is complaining, 'Vim: Warning : Input is not from a terminal'.
     Also, Vim takes much time to respond to first keystore (for eg, ':' takes
     almost 30 seconds to appear). Subsequent keystores are fine.

Any help?

Yes.  Use a cygwin version of vim.

there's a precompiled cygwin gvim binary at http://www.zip.com.au/~raf2/vim/

Also, as in most software projects, the "Cygnus" web page at:

http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/

has a wealth of information about ported programs.

Does this require an X server?

Re: Vim and Cygnus

[jorg.schaible]

I suppose you're using the Win32 verison of VIM as I do. I have defined a function in my .bashrc:

function e
{
    local arg
    for arg in "$@"; do
        <path>/gvim $(cygpath -w "$arg")
    done
}

1. The function is kept and executed in memory and uses the "Cygwin way" to convert the paths (and is therefore also capable of converting mounted directories).
2. Your .inputrc and .bashrc in your $HOME are not in Unix format ==> save both files with LF only.
