Compiling Vim With Ruby Integration On Snow Leopard
One of my favourite plugins for Vim is Command-T:
an extremely fast, intuitive mechanism for opening files with a minimal number of keystrokes. It’s named “Command-T” because it is inspired by the “Go to File” window bound to Command-T in TextMate.
Sadly, the default installation of Vim on Snow Leopard does not have support for the ruby interpreter compiled in, which is a pre-requisite for using the Command-T plugin. Luckily, that’s easy enough to remedy, and in the process we’ll learn a thing or two about compiling your own custom Vim binary.
