How can I configure Vim to compile C code using Borland's compiler on Windows?

Question

I am new to the text editor Vim. I want to use it for programming C. I am using Windows and the bcc32 compiler from Borland. I cannot seem to get my C code to compile. I think something is wrong with my setup. Can someone give step by step information on how to setup Vim for compiling using BCC?

Answer 1

I've not used the bcc32 compiler, but I'm assuming it uses a different make tool than make. You'll need to put:

set makeprg=<make command>

Somewhere in your .vimrc file.

Answer 2

A Google search of vim and bcc led me to this page.

http://ftp.nluug.nl/vim/runtime/compiler/bcc.vim

You'll have to place this bcc.vim in the ~/vimfiles/compiler directory
