Does anyone have experience with running gVim and using Cygwin commands (ex.
indent)? I would prefer not to run vim in a Cygwin terminal, unless someone
has all of the configurations needed (syntax highlighting, etc) to have that
act like gVim.
I generally compile both gvim and vim under cygwin, and haven't run into
any problems. I haven't used indent, though. The problems I generally
have had have been with Windows' paths and trying to get netrw to
understand them properly, but that's not because of gvim and cygwin.
If you already have cygwin, just get vim 7.0 source, and go to its
source directory.
gmake -f Make_cyg.mak
will make gvim.exe by default. Edit Make_cyg.mak, and change GUI=yes
to GUI=no, and type the same command above. That way you'll get
vim.exe. Its really quite straightforward!
