Thanks for all of the suggestions. The default gvim works great so far. I found out you have to save the file as .cpp before it will do syntax highlighting. It even indents things for me too.
The only problem I have now is with MinGW. I installed it, and it works great, but the process that I am going through is a bit tedious in order to compile. There must be a better way than this... Copy .cpp file to "C:\MinGW\bin" Open cmd cd "C:\MinGW\bin" g++ helloworld.cpp -o helloworld.exe helloworld.exe Is there some way to drag and drop compile, or better yet type a command in gvim to compile? I would like to do this without installing a bunch of plugins. One more thing. The program runs fine, but I am getting a warning is this okay? C:\MinGW\bin>g++ helloworld.cpp -o helloworld.exe Info: resolving std::cout by linking to __imp___ZSt4cout (auto-import) c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: warning: a uto-importing has been activated without --enable-auto-import specified on the c ommand line. This should work unless it involves constant data structures referencing symbols from auto-imported DLLs. -- View this message in context: http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/Starting-out-with-VIM-and-C-tp3361804p3368828.html Sent from the Vim - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
