[vimplugin-devel] "cygwin1.dll was not found"

[David F. <fis...@ia...>]

Here is my basic setup.

I am primarily a windows box and use my own compiled gvim.

I had someone send me a vim.exe that they compiled for cygwin.

>From the RXVT session, I do the following:
********
fishburn@FISHBURN-M20 /usr/local/share
$ vim
bash: /usr/local/bin/vim: No such file or directory

fishburn@FISHBURN-M20 /usr/local/share
$ which vim
/usr/bin/vim
********

So, I have placed vim.exe in the wrong directory.
Eclipse is configured to use C:/cygwin/bin/vim.exe
If I start Eclipse (3.2.2), I get a vim embedded showing the file I was last
editing.


GOOD.


This time, I move vim.exe to:
mv /usr/bin/vim.exe /usr/local/bin/.
vim

Vim starts correctly this time, but since I do have any configuration files
(or a vimrc) it is plain jane.

I modify Eclipse to use: C:/cygwin/usr/local/bin/vim.exe
To verify this is the correct location:
c:\>dir C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\vim.exe

 Volume in drive C is C              Serial number is B061:3701
 Directory of  C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\vim.exe

 3/01/2007  11:20a      1,381,888  vim.exe

Now I re-start eclipse, I get a popup message saying:
Vim.exe - Unable To Locate Component
"This application has failed to start because cygwin1.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

When I hit Ok, it just sits there with a blank black screen.


If I change the path to something that will not work and restart Eclipse the
editor Window is gray with a message:
Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure:
An unexpected exception was thrown.

Anything I can do for you?
