Using MS distribution of F# instead of Mono. #52

Closed Tombert closed 7 years ago

Tombert commented 8 years ago

This plugin is great, but at my current job, I'm forced to use the official MS version of FSharp. Is there a way to run that instead of just mono? I'm not even wholly opposed to a hackey-ish solution involving Cygwin or symlinks or something...

kjnilsson commented 8 years ago

On Windows this will run using .net not mono.

Tombert commented 8 years ago

@kjnilsson Ah, the issue might be because I'm using the Cygwin version of Vim. Any chance of that being ported to use the native version?

Tombert commented 8 years ago

Is there an environment variable I can set in Cygwin to tell it I'm on windows?

kjnilsson commented 8 years ago

Cygwin isn't really supported as it isn't exactly straight forward. It needs someone to spend a fair bit of time to get all the path conversions and whatnot working properly. Contributions in this area are very welcome. :)

I wouldn't be opposed to adding support for that; in the interim though, do you recommend using GVim or something?

kjnilsson commented 8 years ago

Yes GVim is what I have used on windows before. The honest thing to say is that *nix has had a lot more testing that windows. It should work though. Raise any issues you find here.

I got things working on a syntax-highlighting level with GVim. However, when I do <leader>-t to grab a type, nothing happens. No errors, no nothing.

Has the fsautocomplete backend started? you should be able to see it in task manager.

Tombert commented 8 years ago

@kjnilsson It doesn't appear to be running; how do I start it?

kjnilsson commented 8 years ago

@Tombert it should start automatically. Can you try the latest version. Make sure you run install.cmd after updating.

kjnilsson commented 7 years ago

@Tombert I'm closing this. Please re-open if there is still an issue.
