No, but if you find a HowTo for putting Vim on, it will be exactly the same for Cream since it is just another runtime directory alongside Vim. And if you intend to "tread lightly" on the hard disk, there are a few global variables available to force temporary files to the thumbdrive: http://cream.sourceforge.net/faq.html#0208 If you're able to work it out, feel free to post back any particulars and I'll add it to the FAQ. -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ] :: Cream for Vim http://cream.sourceforge.net |

Here is a partially working recipe (tested on Win7x64): 1. Start with portable gvim (http://portableapps.com/apps/development/gvim_portable) 2. unpack the cream source package (http://cream.sourceforge.net/download.html) somewhere 3. Edit the install.bat and insert these lines between :NoWinNT and :FINDVRT rem use %VRT% if already defined if not defined VRT call :FINDVRT goto :VERIFY 4. Open a CMD shell and change to directory you unpacked the cream source package 5. Set the location of the portable gvim, something like: set VRT=X:\PortableApps\gVimPortable\App\vim\vim72 6. Run install.bat Cream+gvim is now installed but starting it is tricky. Try as I might I can't get the following to run from a batch file, though it works fine if typed (or pasted) to a CMD shell (all on one line). It might be a Win7 thing. X:\PortableApps\gVimPortable\App\vim\vim72\gvim.exe -u X:\PortableApps\gVimPortable\App\vim\vim72\cream\creamrc -U NONE --servername CREAM If the works for you in a batch file, this one liner will adapt to drive letter changes: @%~d0\PortableApps\gVimPortable\App\vim\vim72\gvim.exe -u %~d0\PortableApps\gVimPortable\App\vim\vim72\cream\creamrc -U NONE --servername CREAM %* Notes: - @ is the same as '@echo off', for a single line - %~d0 captures the drive letter of the batch file being run, (the full name is %0) - %* means pass parameters along (enables "cream edit-this-file.txt and-this-too.txt") - preface with 'start /b' to have the bat console window automatically close cheers, matt wilkie -------------------------------------------- Geomatics Analyst Information Management and Technology Yukon Department of Environment 10 Burns Road * Whitehorse, Yukon * Y1A 4Y9 867-667-8133 Tel * 867-393-7003 Fax http://environmentyukon.gov.yk.ca/geomatics/ -------------------------------------------- Akagi Kong wrote: > Hello, > > Is there a Howto for putting Cream on a thumb drive? |
