POCompiling with C.vim on Windows?
text
Body
copied!<p>C.Vim works, as evidenced by the commands I've been using, syntax highlighting, and template. But I use <code>\rc</code> and nothing happens. <code>\rr</code> tells me that there is no .exe, and an Everything search tells me that it's not a directory issue.</p> <p>In all the resources I've read, I don't see anything that says I need to point it to a specific compiler, though I've installed Visual Studio 2010.</p> <p>How do I get C.vim to compile my code? I'm a relative beginner with Vim and C.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I've set the Windows Environment Variable to C:/cygwin/bin where I've downloaded and installed the GCC packages, but am still getting the same error.</p> <p><strong>Edit2:</strong> I've downloaded Msys and Mingw as well. I tried setting up Eclipse as well, following the instructions <a href="http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache%3au6xemfJ1iJwJ%3amax.berger.name/howto/cdt/cdt.pdf+%22Launch+Failed.+Binary+not+found.%22+eclipse+windows&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjJKWaWehmyyt0OqLrQgrFfjY-x07qnd_SkK2ANUlRnnBc7fpxH8KzbGeBKb07gGldjCPkgpT3MV4dY3FbW5uz_LeSxKduyWPMo577W3KpdTJRDWj5UxrKqsV0rIHOw7yJ6PyDQ&sig=AHIEtbR6avknW14UoX3b2QWjshPzawpAEQ" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Running make from the command line tells me that GNU Make 3.81 is running. Running <code>:make</code> in Vim tells me:</p> <pre><code>shell returned 2 (1 of 1) : make *** No targets specified and no makefile found </code></pre> <p>Trying Eclipse, I get another make error:</p> <pre><code>make: *** No rule to make target `all'; Stop. </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit3:</strong> I got Code::Blocks running, which is what I used to run. (It's been a while since I programmed, and even then I was a beginner.) I didn't really have to configure it at all, though I would still prefer to use Vim, so help is still much appreciated. </p> <p><strong>Edit4:</strong> running <code>make vimFirst</code> (vimFirst.c is my file) compiles! Running the program with <code>:! vimFirst.exe</code> works as expected. Now returning to the original question, how to do it with C.vim? It would be so much more convinient to type <code>\rc</code> and have the program compile and run, which is about 1/10 of the typing of the other method. </p>
