VimR — Vim Refined

http://vimr.org

UPDATE

We recently, June 2016, started to migrate the MacVim backend (VimR-MacVim) to a NeoVim backend. We experimented with NeoVim a bit (nvox) and now we are confident enough to think that VimR can be backed by NeoVim. It will take some time though till the transition is complete. Bear with us!

If you want to build VimR-MacVim, use the macvim/master branch.

Since VimR-MacVim is not developed anymore, we also closed all issues involving VimR-MacVim.

About

Project VimR is an attempt to refine the Vim experience. The goal is to build an editor that uses Vim inside with many of the convenience GUI features similar to those present in modern editors for Mac.

Download

Pre-built binaries can be found here.

From time to time I'll upload a bleeding edge build and you can download it here.

How to Build

First install homebrew, then:

xcode-select --install # install the Xcode command line tools
brew install carthage # install Carthage for dependency management
brew install libtool automake cmake pkg-config gettext ninja # install libs and tools for neovim

carthage update --platform osx

git submodule update --init
cd neovim
ln -s ../NeoVimXpc/local.mk .
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release libnvim # optional, the nvox target in Xcode also does this

Run the nvox-target in Xcode.

Project Setup

Artifacts Hierarchy

nvox.app
+-- SwiftNeoVim.framework
    +-- NeoVimView
    +-- runtime files for NeoVim
    +-- NeoVimServer
        +-- libnvim
        +-- other libs for NeoVim

Libraries for NeoVim

The library libiconv is linked by the linker flag -liconv. The version bundled with OSX will be linked.
The library libintl should be installed by homebrew and is statically linked by explicitly using the linker flag /usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.a.
Other libraries used by NeoVim, which are automatically built by building libnvim, are linked by adding them to the Xcode project.
