Command T 0.9, gVim 7.3 & Ruby 1.9.1

  1. crocked

    Hi, I tried to install gVim 7.3 (official windows final build win32 on 32bit XP SP3 machine) which is built against Ruby 1.9.1 with the latest version of Command T. However when I attempt to open a file with Command T I get an error an unhandled win32 exception occurred in gvim.exe 8236.

    I used the devkit 3.4.5 and the install seemed to go through without issue.

    I had originally tried using Ruby 1.8.7 but with this I got the message that I needed to take a version of vim that is compiled against Ruby (probably as it now uses a higher version). 1.9.1 would be better as this is what we are using at work anyway but if I had to use 1.8.7 I guess I'd need to revert to gvim 7.2

    Do you have any idea what could be causing this? Kind Regards, Crocked

    I've tried various combinations of Vim and Ruby on Windows (Windows XP to be precise), and the only one which I could get working reliably was the one mentioned in the readme (Vim 7.2 from www.vim.org, Ruby 1.8.7, and the 3.4.5 devkit).

    I'm not a Windows expert (my desktop runs Mac OS X) so I don't really know what would need to be done to get Vim 7.3 and/or Ruby 1.9.x playing nicely with Command-T.

    I downloaded a recent build of the Windows VIM 7.3 from http://wyw.dcweb.cn/ and used that in combination with Ruby 1.9.2 (which has a 191 dll) to fix my crash issues in combination with CommandT. The VIM binary from vim.org has Ruby-related bugs that have been fixed in later versions for which no new binary exists on the vim.org site, unfortunately.

    Solution provided in the comment above worked for me. Only had to move Ruby SDK files from C:\Ruby192\mingw into C:\Ruby192.

    FYI,

    Standard Vim 73_46 exes for Windows (from http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc) have the crashing issue with Ruby 1.9.x, but require 1.9.x.

    Instead, you can use Wu Yongwei's build of Vim for Windows (currently 7.3.393) which include the fixes to the Ruby crash. Go here and grab the vim73.zip from http://wyw.dcweb.cn/#download and copy it to your standard vim install. His zip doesn't include the runtime so you should install the standard vim first.

    Wincent,

    I want to thank you for creating this awesome plugin. It has been a tremendous productivity boon. I was able to get Command-T to work based on the instructions in the documentation. Though I could not find a way to make it work with 7.3

    Today, I finally cracked the nut.

    Here's the step by step guide:

    [I have stored all associated installation packages in https://github.com/SolutionYogi/VimSetup/tree/master/software ]

    I am now a super happy user of Vim 7.3 (Persistent Undo FTW!) and Command-T.
