On UNIX Vim looks for runtime files and startup script at:
{{{
~/.vim/
~/.vimrc
}}}
On Haiku the paths are different and not so obvious to the end-user:
{{{
~/config/settings/vim/vimfiles/
~/config/settings/vim/vimrc
}}}
I think they should be documented better. I've seen few people on IRC
struggling to find these paths (me included, of course :) ) ... I'm new to
Haiku though, so I don't know if there's some sort of README for optional
packages?
Or, maybe, can the optional package say something after successful
installation? That could be the right place to put it, although not very
persistent.
AFAIK, right now the path to vimrc is mentioned in
**/boot/common/data/vim/vim73/vimrc_example.vim** - there's a line added:
{{{
" for Haiku OS: ~/config/settings/vim/vimrc
}}}
The path to the runtime files isn't mentioned anywhere user-friendly, it's
defined somewhere in **src/os_beos.h** and the way I found it was when I
googled the **set runtimepath?** vim command.
My environment:
- Walter (hrev44122-dirty), GCC 2
- VMware Fusion, MacBook (Intel)
