.vim by Potapov Sergey (aka Blake)

What is it?

This is my daily use .vim. It includes my vimrc file, plugins, syntax checkers, color themes, snippets and so on. Everything what makes me happy:) Since I am a ruby developer it contains a lot of ruby oriented things.

Install

Clone git repository:

git clone git://github.com/greyblake/dotvim.git $HOME/.vim

Install git submodules:

cd $HOME/.vim
git submodule init
git submodule update

Create a symbol link to vimrc:

ln -s $HOME/.vim/vimrc $HOME/.vimrc

Add .vim/bin to your PATH(exmaple for bash):

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.vim/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc

Requirements

Some plugins and features need builtin python and ruby interpreters. See the next section how to build Vim with this options.

Building Vim from sources

Here I described how I built Vim. If you want all features to work I should do the same.

Prerequisites

Install all neccessary packages to compile and use vim my way(example for Debian like distributions):

apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev python-dev python3-dev ruby-dev mercurial ncurses-dev libxt-dev exuberant-ctags rubygems

Getting Vim sources

Get the Vim with Mercurial:

hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim

Building

Ok. Now lets configure it and build. Go to the Vim sources directory:

cd vim

Specify where you want Vim to be installed:

export VIM_DIR=<absolute path to directory>

Run configure script with necessary options:

./configure --prefix=$VIM_DIR --enable-pythoninterp=yes --enable-python3interp=yes --enable-rubyinterp=yes --enable-gui=yes

The do:

make
make install

That's all. Don't forget to add vim bin directory to you PATH in your .bashrc:

echo "export PATH=\$PATH:${VIM_DIR}/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
