Build a GVim-based Python development environment on Windows 10 (3) GVim8.0 & Python3.6

On February 1, 2017, Python 3.6 is available in Anaconda, so compile GVim again. 1st article will be reprinted.

Build a GVim-based Python development environment on a Windows 10, 64-bit PC. The Windows account name is daizu, and each program is mainly placed under C: \ Users \ daizu \ AppData \ Local.

Python

Anyway, Python. On Windows, it is convenient to build a Python environment with Anaconda.

To select the installation target, select Just for me and change the Destination folder from the default setting C: \ Users \ daizu \ Anaconda3 to C: \ Users \ daizu \ AppData \ Local \ Anaconda3. Check both Advanced Options. In addition to the default settings, the directory where the executable file is located is added to PATH.

Others

For the following programs, refer to 1st article.

• MinGW-w64 - for 32 and 64 bit Windows
• MSYS2
• Git
• Lua

GVim

Get the source from GitHub. Open a command prompt

$ cd AppData\Local
$ git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git

will do.

Download the batch file makevim64.bat for compiling from the reference URL below and copy it to C: \ Users \ daizu \ AppData \ Local \ vim. Edit makevim64.bat as follows to match the Lua and Python versions.

makevim64.bat

setlocal
:: path to MinGw64
set USERNAME=daizu
set USERDOMAIN=

set PYTHON3=C:/Users/daizu/AppData/Local/Anaconda3
set PYTHON3_VER=36
set DYNAMIC_PYTHON3=yes

set LUA=C:/Users/daizu/AppData/Local/lua-5.3.2
set LUA_VER=53
set DYNAMIC_LUA=yes

md bin
cd src

:: Clean
mingw32-make -f Make_ming.mak GUI=yes clean ARCH=x86-64

:: GUI x64
mingw32-make -f Make_ming.mak GUI=yes OLE=no FEATURES=HUGE ARCH=x86-64

set OUTDIR=../bin
copy *.exe "%OUTDIR%"
copy .\GvimExt\*.dll "%OUTDIR%"
copy *.dll "%OUTDIR%"
copy .\xxd\*.exe "%OUTDIR%"

cd ..
endlocal

At the command prompt, go to C: \ Users \ daizu \ AppData \ Local \ vim and go to

$ makevim64.bat

Compile as.

If the compilation is successful, create a vim80-daizu folder in C: \ Users \ daizu \ AppData \ Local, and create a vim80 directory under it. Copy the directory and set of files in runtime under the directory where you compiled vim (C: \ Users \ daizu \ AppData \ Local \ vim) under vim80. Then compile the compiled executables gvim.exe and vimrun.exe from C: \ Users \ daizu \ AppData \ Local \ vim \ bin toC: \ Users \ daizu \ AppData \ Local \ vim80-daizu Copy to. Then, get ʻiconv.dllandlibintl.dll for 64-bit from the reference URL, and copy them under the vim80-daizu` directory as well.

Create the GVim configuration files _vimrc and _gvimrc under C: \ Users \ daizu \ vimfiles \ dotfiles. The following is an example only for checking the operation.

_vimrc

 set enc=utf-8

_gvimrc

 colorscheme desert

Link these to your home directory. Open a command prompt with administrator privileges

$ mklink c:\Users\daizu\_vimrc C:\Users\daizu\vimfiles\dotfiles\_vimrc
$ mklink c:\Users\daizu\_gvimrc C:\Users\daizu\vimfiles\dotfiles\_gvimrc

will do.
