# vimproc

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Shougo/vimproc.vim.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Shougo/vimproc.vim)

vimproc requires a native extension to be built, and will not work properly if
that library (a `.so` or `.dll`) is missing.

Supported platforms:
* Windows 32/64bit (Compiled by MinGW or Visual Studio)
* Mac OS X (10.5 or later)
* Linux
* Cygwin
* Solaris
* BSD (but cannot check)
* Android (experimental)

Not supported platforms:
* Other UNIX platforms

## Install

### Manual Install

* Clone this repo
* Build vimproc's native extensions (see Building for details)
* Copy `autoload/*` and `plugin/*` files to your 'runtimepath' directory (see
  `:help runtimepath`).

### NeoBundle

If you use [neobundle.vim](http://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim), you can
update and build vimproc automatically. This is the recommended package manager.

```vim
NeoBundle 'Shougo/vimproc.vim', {
\ 'build' : {
\     'windows' : 'tools\\update-dll-mingw',
\     'cygwin' : 'make -f make_cygwin.mak',
\     'mac' : 'make -f make_mac.mak',
\     'linux' : 'make',
\     'unix' : 'gmake',
\    },
\ }
```

### Pathogen

vimproc uses a pathogen compatible structure, so it can be managed with
[pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), however you must remember to
compile after cloning the repo.

```sh
git clone https://github.com/Shougo/vimproc.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/vimproc.vim
cd ~/.vim/bundle/vimproc.vim
make
```

## Building

Note: You must use GNU make to build vimproc.

You can install the dll using |VimProcInstall|. If you are having any trouble
or want to build manually then read on.

### Linux

    $ make

### Mac OS X

    $ make

Note: If you want to build for multiple architectures, you can use `ARCHS` and `CC` variables.

Build for i386 and x86-64:

    $ make ARCHS='i386 x86_64'

### FreeBSD

    $ gmake

### Solaris

    $ gmake

Note: If you want to use Sun Compiler, you can use `SUNCC` variable.

    $ gmake SUNCC=cc

### Windows

Note: In Windows, using MinGW is recommended.
Note: If you have not "gcc" binary, you must change $CC value.

Windows using MinGW (32bit Vim):

    $ mingw32-make -f make_mingw32.mak

Windows using MinGW (If you want to use MinGW compiler in Cygwin):

    $ mingw32-make -f make_mingw32.mak CC=mingw32-gcc

Windows using MinGW (64bit Vim):

    $ mingw32-make -f make_mingw64.mak

Windows using Visual Studio (32bit/64bit Vim):

    $ nmake -f make_msvc.mak nodebug=1

Note: To build with Visual Studio, you must install Windows SDK and run from
VS command prompt.
https://github.com/Shougo/vimproc.vim/issues/58

If you use MSVC 11 or later, you need to specify where the Win32.mak file is,
e.g.:

    $ nmake -f make_msvc.mak nodebug=1 "SDK_INCLUDE_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include"

The architecture will be automatically detected, but you can also specify the
architecture explicitly. E.g.:

    32bit: nmake -f make_msvc.mak nodebug=1 CPU=i386
    64bit: nmake -f make_msvc.mak nodebug=1 CPU=AMD64

Cygwin:

    $ make -f make_cygwin.mak

Note: The `vimproc_cygwin.dll` compiled in Cygwin won't work with Windows Vim.

### Windows Binaries

[Kaoriya Vim](http://www.kaoriya.net/software/vim/) comes bundled with a precompiled version
for vimproc in Windows environment
