Dear all,
I suspect this is more of a cygwin issue than a vim one, but I use a
custom-compiled vim from the CVS version and it seems to have stopped
working in a slightly odd way. I suspect the change that is relevant
is an upgrade of cygwin (I ran setup.exe as I needed to install one
extra application, but it updated everything at the same time).
My configure command is:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-features=huge --enable-cscope
--enable-perlinterp --enable-pythoninterp --enable-tclinterp
--enable-rubyinterp --compiled-by="A. S. Budden" --with-x
--enable-gui
After it appeared to stop working, I assumed it was a problem with
changed libraries, so I re-checked-out the CVS source, reconfigured,
recompiled and reinstalled, but it made no difference. Running
/usr/local/bin/vim does nothing at all, regardless of options:
$ /usr/local/bin/vim --help
$ echo $?
123
$ /usr/local/bin/vim -u NONE -U NONE
$ echo $?
123
$ /usr/bin/vim
# Vim starts correctly (this is the cygwin-provided vim)
Opening a command window (cmd.exe) and entering the following works
fine, so there's presumably nothing wrong with the executable itself:
cd \cygwin\usr\local\bin
.\vim.exe
Can anyone offer any suggestion as to why it's stopped working from
within my xterm? I've also tried it in an rxvt-native window and an
rxvt-x window, but the result is the same.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Al
vim --version output from /usr/local/bin/vim and /usr/bin/vim:
cd \cygwin\usr\local\bin
.\vim.exe --version
