I have now managed to get Cream to run on OS X with a few minor tweaks:
Stopped the following functions from running:
cream-server.vim - Cream_singleserver_init()
cream-server.vim - Cream_singleserver()
by inserting near the top of each function:
if has("mac")
return
endif
I also fixed the startup error that was complaining about a
nonexistant variable (g:CREAM_AUTOWRAP_WIDTH). So the function now
reads:
cream-statusline.vim
function! Cream_statusline_autowrapOFF()
if &textwidth
return ""
else
" use global, actual width is 0
if exists("g:CREAM_AUTOWRAP_WIDTH")
return "auto " . g:CREAM_AUTOWRAP_WIDTH
else
return ""
endif
endif
endfunction
I can now start cream from the command line using the following:
/Applications/Vim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g -U NONE -u
"\$VIMRUNTIME/cream/creamrc"
and I get something resembling Cream ;-)
There is still more to sort out as the backspace key doesn't work as
it should in insert mode, although it does in gvim...
In addition, Cream runs pretty slowly compared to gvim, especially
when switching buffers.
But at least I have some progress...
