Vim developers, When the DIRECTX feature is enabled at compilation, the setting of option 'renderoptions' to "type:directx" causes gvim to load "dwrite.dll" which is not available from Microsoft for Windows XP systems. The load attempt generates error E474 which causes the test script "opt_test.vim" to abort which in turn prevents the script from running the remaining tests (the file "opt_test.vim" is auto-generated by Make_ming.mak).
As I see it, there are two options: either do not test 'renderoptions' on Windows XP or surround the "set" commands with try/catch/endtry and ignore error E474 on Windows XP. In either case, the test must know it is running on Windows XP and I don't think that is easy to determine in a vim script (that's not say there aren't ways). In addition, since the test file "opt_test.vim" is auto-generated, option 'renderoptions' would have to be special-cased in "gen_opt_test.vim". I don't know how the community prefers to address this and so I am just reporting the problem and not proposing a patch. However, I am willing to work on this if a plan-of-attack can be agreed-upon. -mike -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
