How to get ruby support for gvim73 on a windows XP machine.
Jeri Raye
I'm using gvim73 on windows xp.
I tried to use the command-t plugin.
This gives the message that vim needs to be compiled with ruby support.
I'm a complete newbie on compiling gvim.
I understand it's possible on a linux machine.
But how to do that on windows XP?
Or can you give a ruby.dll or something to get this supported without
compiling it?
If not, which (open source?) compiler do you need for that on a windows
XP machine?

I'll give this a try

yikes -- that pdf is OLD -- looking at
i see the first search box is labeled "Search the latest
documentation (Updated 2009-06-13 for Vim 7.2.197):"
i think the site should be updated or whacked...

I read in the documentation of the command-t plugin that you can
download the installer from
http://rubyinstaller.org/download.html

If it was updated for 7.2.197 it should apply mutatis mutandis to 7.3
with the following differences:
- You can now download the latest Vim sources from Bram's Mercurial
repository, see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial
- If you decide to get the source archive over ftp, the extra and lang
archives have been retired (the "main" archive contains everything); and
of course the archive's filename includes 7.3 instead of 7.2
- See also http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm
with the following caveats:
- The Cygwin C compiler/linker for native-Windows may have a longer
name than just gcc.exe: lines 43-47 of the current Make_cyg.mak seem to
mean that CC should be set to gcc-3 (which in turn requires overriding
the makefile default) and -L/lib/w32api added to EXTRA_LIBS
- Or you may prefer using MinGW gcc instead (with the Make_ming.mak
makefile and similar but not necessarily identical environment settings)
- The Make_cyg.mak mentions in its text "Last Change: 2010 Feb 24"
but actually it was modified on 2010-08-17; for instance it mentions the
Lua interface which hadn't yet been added to Vim in February.
Best regards,
Tony.

gvim 7.2.0 (offical release aug 2008) and 7.3 (just relaesed) give boths
-ruby when I asked it with: "vim --version"
There isn't any other way to get ruby code to work with gvim, besides
compiling it?
I'm kinda scared in compiling the whole sources.

I think you want Vim for Windows? See 'Vim without Cream' at:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/download
That gives you a 'huge' build which includes Ruby. The release
notes include:
-DDYNAMIC_RUBY_DLL="msvcrt-ruby18.dll" -DDYNAMIC_RUBY_VER=18
I guess that specifies what version is required?

Yes, it would mean Ruby 1.8.

Tony.

"+ruby/dyn" which means it has ruby support, you just need Ruby
installed to a place Vim can find it and Vim will use the existing
installation rather than including its own.
Jeri Raye
I have it now working with the vim without cream but with ruby support.
I have installed also ruby 187
And the development kit 3.4.5.
Many thanks for all the help, as always.
Rgds,
Jeri
