Introduction *workshop-intro* + +Sun Visual WorkShop has an "Editor of Choice" feature designed to let users +debug using their favorite editors. For the 6.0 release we have added support +for gvim. A workshop debug session will have a debugging window and an editor +window (possibly others as well). The user can do many debugging operations +from the editor window, minimizing the need to switch from window to window. + +The version of vim shipped with Sun Visual WorkShop 6 (also called Forte +Developer 6) is vim 5.3. The features in this release are much more reliable +than the vim/gvim shipped with Visual WorkShop. VWS users wishing to use vim +as their editor should compile these sources and install them in their +workshop release tree. + +============================================================================== +2. Commands *workshop-commands* + + *:ws* *:wsverb* +:ws[verb] verb Pass the verb to the verb executor + +Pass the verb to a workshop function which gathers some arguments and +sends the verb and data to workshop over an IPC connection. + +============================================================================== +3. Compiling vim/gvim for WorkShop *workshop-compiling* + +Compiling vim with FEAT_SUN_WORKSHOP turns on all compile time flags necessary +for building a vim to work with Visual WorkShop. The features required for VWS +have been built and tested using the Sun compilers from the VWS release. They +have not been built or tested using Gnu compilers. This does not mean the +features won't build and run if compiled with gcc, just that nothing is +guaranteed with gcc! + +============================================================================== +4. Configuring gvim for a WorkShop release tree *workshop-configure* + +There are several assumptions which must be met in order to compile a gvim for +use with Sun Visual WorkShop 6. + + o You should use the compiler in VWS rather than gcc. We have neither + built nor tested with gcc and cannot guarantee it will build properly. + + o You must supply your own XPM library. See |workshop-xpm| below for + details on obtaining the latest version of XPM. + + o Edit the Makefile in the src directory and uncomment the lines for Sun + Visual WorkShop. You can easily find these by searching for the string + FEAT_SUN_WORKSHOP + + o We also suggest you use Motif for your gui. This will provide gvim with + the same look-and-feel as the rest of Sun Visual WorkShop. + +The following configuration line can be used to configure vim to build for use +with Sun Visual WorkShop: + + $ CC=cc configure --enable-workshop --enable-gui=motif \ + -prefix=<VWS-install-dir>/contrib/contrib6/<vim-version> + +The VWS-install-dir should be the base directory where your Sun Visual WorkShop +was installed. By default this is /opt/SUNWspro. It will normally require +root permissions to install the vim release. You will also need to change the +symlink <VWS-install-dir>/bin/gvim to point to the vim in your newly installed +directory. The <vim-version> should be a unique version string. I use "vim" +concatenated with the equivalent of version.h's VIM_VERSION_SHORT. + +============================================================================== +5. Obtaining the latest version of the XPM library *workshop-xpm* + +The XPM library is required to show images within Vim with Motif or Athena. +Without it the toolbar and signs will be disabled. + +The XPM library is provide by Arnaud Le Hors of the French National Institute +for Research in Computer Science and Control. It can be downloaded from +http://koala.ilog.fr/ftp/pub/xpm. The current release, as of this writing, is +xpm-3.4k-solaris.tgz, which is a gzip'ed tar file. If you create the directory +/usr/local/xpm and untar the file there you can use the uncommented lines in +the Makefile without changing them. If you use another xpm directory you will +need to change the XPM_DIR in src/Makefile. + + vim:tw=78:ts=8:ft=help:norl: |
