See the following message, and other messages in that thread. In that line of discussion, a couple of folks brought up some very good suggestions for making cygwin vim and native win32 vim co-exist on the same machine and share the same vim runtime files via mount points.
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-07/msg01272.html You should also be able to set $VIM (in cygwin) and %VIM% (in autoexec.bat) to point to the same set of runtime files as you suggest... if you are careful about keeping the vim versions in sync as the message above suggests. If you can't get your vim versions in sync and pointing at the same set of runtime files (I don't see why not though), then add export VIM=<whatever> to your .bashrc file, which will cause the cygwin supplied vim to look in the right place by overriding the setting that's coming out of your autoexec.bat.

I suggest that it might be caused by the some declarations in autoexec.bat due to the installation of gvim for windows such as set VIM = c:\vim I really need help for this case, Regards, Suendo ------------------------------------------------ Veinardi SUENDO TANIOKA Laboratory Department of Organic and Polymeric Materials Tokyo Institute of Technology Ookayama, Meguro-ku Tokyo 152-8552 Japan Tel. +81-3-5734-2426 Fax. +81-3-5734-3659 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
