[Dev-C++] dev-cpp vim integration (Newbie)

[<Rog...@ho...>]

I am studying C++ and would like to use vim and dev-C++ together on
two platforms. (Linux and Windows) Problem:  It is a bit cumbersome to
use vim and then to switch to dev-cpp. Is there some way these two can
work together or am I stuck with changing back and forth. I like vim a lot
as an editor as I do dev-cpp as a compiler. Any advice would be appreciated.
dev-cpp ver:4.9.5.0
vim ver:6.1

Thanks!

Roger.

Dev-C++ isn't a compiler, it's an environment (mainly an editor). It uses
the MingW32 compiler (http://www.mingw.org/) that runs on Windows systems.
Download the compiler from the URL and use it as documented. Alternately,
you can use the compiler bundled with Dev, by adding it to the "PATH"
environment variable and running it from the command-line in DOS and
Windows.

If you want to use the two together, you'll have to get them onto a common
platform. In Linux, you can use MingW on the windows emulator or a
cross-compiler, about which I don't know much. On Windows, I'm not really
sure if there's a vim port (there should be), you could use one if there is,
or you can try Emacs.

Or, of course, use the integrated Dev editor (which is getting better and
better).
