That build script consists only of ex-commands, so you can omit the
leading colons and run Vim in batch mode as follows:
vim -esS build.vim
see
:help -e
:help -s-ex
:help -S
If you want your vimrc to be used, you will need to explicitly add a -u
argument for it.
You don't need a GUI, so no need to use gvim. If you don't _have_ a
Console Vim (and are on Windows), well, I don't know if you can avoid
opening the GUI. But you can try replacing vim by gvim in the above
command.
I tried with vim instead of gvim and with the -esS build.vim arguments.
While it is true I no longer get the window, now vim exits with the
return code 2 and I get no vimball built.
I suspect vim no longer loads plugins with the above switches, so my
%MkVimball vcscommand-repack
command no longer works.ā
Thank you,

Yes, in batch mode (with -es) no scripts are sourced. To source them
anyway, add on top of your build.vim
if filereadable("$HOME/.vimrc")
source ~/.vimrc
elseif filereadable("$HOME/_vimrc")
source ~/_vimrc
endif
runtime! plugin/*.vim
Contrary to any and all of my expectations, it actually worked ... !
And I had already given up hope on this.
However the
:runtime! plugin/*.vim
command by itself did not help me. It turns out that -s has another side
effect: without the .vimrc file being read, Vim never needs to reset
'compatible' (which normally happens automatically at the first .vimrc
line executed)
With 'compatible' on, my plugin (vimballPlugin.vim) would still not
load. If I use -N on the command line, as Gary Johnson already indicated
in the answer here, the plugin gets loaded normally, and I do not even
need the :runtime command anymore.
So in the end the solution was to use this command line:
vim -NesS build.vim
Now the -s switch to does a good job to hide the window, but at the same
time it hides all script output, even the errors, which is not so good,
so one other thing I had to do in addition to the above command line was
to set verbose to non-zero. Which can also be done from the command
line, but unfortunately it no longer fits in a shebang command line (it
already has one other option argument, -S).
Thank you,
