I'm hoping someone can help with a problem. I've had cygwin64 installed for at
least a couple of years, with Vim v8 running just fine. I also have Windows Vim
running; this is all under Win 10.
I've just updated the cygwin64 installation and vim is now v9.0. When I start
the cygwin vim I get these lines:
===========================
Error detected while processing /etc/vimrc:
line 90:
E484: Can't open file C:UsersOwner_vim/vim90/syntax/syntax.vim
Error detected while processing /home/Owner/.vimrc:
line 6:
E484: Can't open file C:UsersOwner_vim/vim90/syntax/syntax.vim
Press ENTER or type command to continue
===========================
Pressing ENTER allows me to continue, editing files, etc. but not surprisingly
with no syntax highlighting.
:echo $VIMRUNTIME = C:\Users\Owner\_vim/vim90
Note the mixed up forward and backward slashes in that path. Note also the lack
of slashes in the paths reported above as E484.
It seems clear that there is some sort of clash between Unix and Windows path
conventions going on but I haven't been able to figure out how to fix it.
The file syntax.vim does exist and is in the right location (I think):
$ ls -l /usr/share/vim/vim90/syntax/syntax.vim
-rw-r--r-- 1 Owner Administrators 1.4K Dec 20 01:57
/usr/share/vim/vim90/syntax/syntax.vim
vim --version includes these lines:
VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Dec 20 2023 06:57:02)
Included patches: 1-2155
system vimrc file: "/etc/vimrc"
user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"
2nd user vimrc file: "~/.vim/vimrc"
user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc"
defaults file: "$VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim"
fall-back for $VIM: "/usr/share/vim"
One more item:
:scriptnames
1: /etc/vimrc
2: ~/.vimrc
3: ~/.vim/keymap/insert_only_capslock.vim
4: ~/.vim/bufferlist.vim
5: ~/.vim/plugin/matchit.vim
Thanks for any help!
