configuration for: vim, git

Primary LanguageVimL

Current dotfiles (and special requirements)

  • Git - dotfiles/gitconfig
  • Vim - dotfiles/vimrc (Vim 7.3+ with ruby support for Command-T Vim plugin)

Installation

  1. Get dotfiles:

    git clone git://github.com/tourist/dotfiles.git

  2. Make symbolic links:

    ln -s ~/dotfiles/gitconfig ~/.gitconfig  
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vimrc ~/.vimrc

  3. Check Vim version and features:

    • version and ruby support with vim --version or :version inside Vim

  4. If necessary compile and install Vim 7.3+ version with ruby support:

    • for ubuntu installing vim-nox should be sufficient
    • handy list of available vim compile flags
    • e.g. for Webfaction account I've used (worked also on my Mac OS X 10.6.8):
    hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ ~/vim/
cd ~/vim/
./configure --with-features=big --enable-cscope --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp --prefix=$HOME --with-python-config-dir=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/config
make install

    If you got problems with plugins written in python you might have wrong version of Python compiled into Vim (I had some problems with rope because Vim compiled with Python2.4 and Rope gave SyntaxErrors).

    Check Python version in Vim:

    vim --version | tr '-' '\n' | grep python

    Compile with proper version on your system (this may vary heavy depending on OS)

    Some tips about this:

    For Webfaction multiple Python version I wanted to use newest 2.x version which was 2.7. I've used:

    ./configure --with-features=big --enable-cscope --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp --prefix=$HOME vi_cv_path_python=/usr/local/bin/python2.7

    Same as before but with vi_cv_path_python defined

    after installation in your home dir you can add alias to new Vim inside ~/.bash_profile

    alias vi=~/bin/vim
alias vim=~/bin/vim

    or change PATH setting to look for vim in home dir first e.g.

    export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

  5. Install Vundle for Vim.

  6. Call :BundleInstall inside Vim to install all plugins and see what's missing.

  7. "rake make" inside Command-T plugin:

    cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t
rake make

  8. For flake8 support:

    pip install flake8

TODO

  • Installation script (?)
  • Vim plugins list
