Hi There,
I have recently installed vim 7.0 and also could never get a chance earlier
to use the compiler options in vim.
I went through the document and set all the values but also could not
compile the c/c++ file in vim window.
Is there a clear document exists which explains how to use the compiler
option in vim.
:help quickfix.txt
Is it "clear"? That is a matter of opinion. Like all vim docs, you may
need to read it attentively, and possibly several times over.
What I understand so far is while editing the file we can compile it if the
proper compiler plugin is present in the plugin directory. Please correct me
if I'm wrong.
You can run a batch compile from vim if you have the proper :compiler
setting, 'makeprg' option, etc. Then you can inspect the errors (if any)
using quickfix commands.
Also, I tried downloading the vim 7.0, linux version but could not get the
downloadable as the link was broken. Is it available at any other place.
I tried some mirrors also, but vim 6.4 is what the last stable version is
the status.
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.0.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/extra/vim-7.0-extra.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/extra/vim-7.0-lang.tar.gz
and everything in
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/
These files taken together contain the full source and runtime files for
all supported OSs and languages.
I recommend the following (for Unix):
1. Create a directory ~/build/vim
2. Download all 3 archivesat any convenient place and uncompress them
there, on top of each other. They will create a tree structure starting
at ~/build/vim/vim70
3. Create a directory ~/build/vim/vim70/patches and download the full
contents of pub/vim/patches/7.0 there
4. The vim70 directory being current, run
patch -p0 < patches/7.0.001
patch -p0 < patches/7.0.002
etc., for all *new* patches in sequence. (If you have already compiled z
previous patchlevel ov Vim 7.0 release, you don't have to reapply the
older patches a second time.)
5. Inspect the file vim70/src/Makefile, make a note of whatever config
options you want to set, and create a batch script similar (not
necessarily identical) to this:
#!/bin/bash
export CONF_OPT_PERL='--enable-perlinterp'
export CONF_OPT_PYTHON='--enable-pythoninterp'
export CONF_OPT_TCL='--enable-tclinterp --with-tcl=tclsh8.4'
export CONF_OPT_RUBY='--enable-rubyinterp'
export CONF_OPT_MZSCHEME='--enable-mzschemeinterp'
export CONF_OPT_CSCOPE='--enable-cscope'
export CONF_OPT_MULTIBYTE='--enable-multibyte'
export CONF_OPT_OUTPUT='--enable-fontset'
export CONF_OPT_FEAT='--with-features=huge'
export CONF_OPT_COMPBY='"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"'
6. In bash, source (with the "source" verb) the script you just created.
7. Run
make
followed by
make install
Between them, you can, for instance, run
src/vim --version
etc., to check that you got a working executable.
Note: if you change your configuration options, you will need to do
cd src
make reconfig
to override the previously "cached" configure settings.
To compile for Windows, see my
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm instead.
Furthermore, I'm using plugin "bufexplorer.vim", but I'm not able to see any
window(extra buffer window, which was available in minibuf explorer).
There is no screenshot available so I don't have much idea if works the same
way.
When I use the command \mbe(or :BufferExplorer) as mentioned in the plugin
document the error display is " E488: Trailing characters".
Do I need to make some settings before using this plugin, though I have
check the docs and no specific setting is mentioned in it, but no idea how
to use this plugin.

I don't know about the bufexpplorer plugin. In vim 7, "editing" a
dieectory should (with the standard netrw plugin) show a directory
listing, from which you can select which file to edit.
Best regards,
Tony.
