Building vim editor in Linux into an effective C/C++ programming IDE, supporting YouCompleteMe as a code-completion engine.

Features

  • Automatic download the latest version of libclang and compile the ycm_core library that YCM needs
  • One-step install
  • Supported all GNU/Linux
  • On-demand loading for faster startup time
  • Semantic auto-completion
  • Syntax checking

Installation

Via curl

curl -o - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hmybmny/vimrc/master/install-vim-plugins | sh

Via wget

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hmybmny/vimrc/master/install-vim-plugins | sh

Included Plugins

I think you should read the docs of these plugins and .vimrc to use them efficiently.

Colors

Editing

Navigation

  • tagbar: display tags in a window, ordered by scope
  • vim-fswitch: switch between companion source files (e.g. .h and .cpp)
  • nerdtree: filesystem tree explorer
  • vim-fugitive: a Git wrapper
  • ctrlp.vim: fuzzy file, buffer, mru, tag, etc. finder
  • ctrlsf.vim: search for code and edit it in-place
  • minibufexpl.vim: buffer explorer that takes very little screen space

View

  • indentLine: display the indention levels with thin vertical lines
  • vim-gitgutter: show a Git diff in the gutter, stage/undo hunks

Linting

  • ale: as-you-type, asynchronous lint engine

Formerly included plugins

These are not included any more, but you can install them manually if you want.

Building vim from source

  • Install all the following libraries

    • Ubuntu

      sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libgnome2-dev libgnomeui-dev \
libgtk2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libbonoboui2-dev \
libcairo2-dev libx11-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev python-dev \
python3-dev ruby-dev lua5.3 lua5.3-dev libperl-dev git

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/lua lua /usr/bin/lua5.3
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/luac luac /usr/bin/luac5.3

    • openSUSE

      zypper in ruby-devel python-devel python3-devel perl-devel \
lua-devel ncurses-devel libX11-devel gtk2-devel xorg-x11-devel

  • Remove vim if you have it already

  • Building Vim from source

    • Add/remove the flags above to fit your setup. For example, you can leave out enable-luainterp if you don't plan on writing any Lua.

      cd ~
git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git
cd vim
./configure --with-features=huge \
            --enable-multibyte \
            --enable-rubyinterp \
            --enable-pythoninterp \
            --with-python-config-dir=/usr/lib/python2.7/config \
            --enable-perlinterp \
            --enable-luainterp \
            --enable-gui=gtk2 --enable-cscope --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

    • Type the following in Vim: :echo has('python'). If the output is 1, then the version of Vim with Python support. If it's 0, then get a version of Vim with Python support.
