To get Vim to understand the format of the error messages, you need to tell Vim what compiler generated the messages, or at least how to parse them. If your compiler is one of those in the officially distributed runtime (in the "compiler" directory) you can just use the :compiler command prior to your :cfile command to do it for you. Otherwise, you'll need to set the 'errorformat' option appropriately by hand or by finding a plugin to do it for you. Note that the :compiler command offers tab completion/wildmenu entries of all the installed compilers. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
