vim-cpp

A script for configuring your vim as IDE for c++

Requirements

• Ubuntu
• python3

How install the scripts

Once you clone the repository, execute the following steps:

• cd /path/to/vim-cpp
• chmod +x install_cpp_configuration.sh
• ./install_cpp_configuration.sh

In your project

Once you successfully installed the script, go into your CMake project and generate the compile command file:

• cd /path/to/your/project
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON ..
• mv compile_commands.json ../

Do not forget to do above procedure each time you add new libraries to your CMakeLists.txt.

Launch vim

Go to main folder of your project and launch vim:

• vim .
• press Ctrl+l for generating the ctags
• press F8 for reloading the .vimrc file

Now your vim environment works perfectly with auto-complete activated.
