description
Videm (Vim's IDE Mode) is a C/C++ IDE  based on vim (will become a common IDE framework in future, I think).
It named VimLite in past before I make it to a framework.
Videm is compatible with VimLite about configuration.
But all commands which in VimLite are renamed in videm, please run ':h videm.txt' for more information after installation.

Videm mainly consists of the following modules:
1.Project Manager:
    The project management module is compatible with CodeLite 2.10. It will auto generates makefile for you.
2.Code Completion:
    An enhanced OmniCpp and a VIMCCC plugin.
        OmniCpp - Support the following completion: namespace, structure, class member, using, using namespace, class template, stl, etc.
        VIMCCC - An Omni cpp code completion plugin which based on libclang.
        OmniCxx(Experimental) - A new simple code complete engine for C/C++, currently only support C and simple C++ without template.
3. Symbol Database:
    Cscope and gnu global.
4.Debugger Integration:
    Gdb integration, by pyclewn.

Please read videm.txt help file for more information.
And you also can reference the VimLite project http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3647
 
install details
Prerequisites:

Make sure your vim's version is 7.3.196 or later and compile with this features:
    +python
    +netbeans_intg (required by debugger)

Videm depends following software:
    python
    python-lxml (optional)
    make
    cscope
    global
    gcc
    gdb
    libclang (version 3.0, required by VIMCCC)

On ubuntu (10.04), just run:
    sudo apt-get install python python-lxml build-essential gdb cscope global

On Windows, just installs python 2.x (2.6 or later) and pywin32(for pyclewn) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/

And make sure you have these settings in your vimrc file:
    set nocp
    filetype plugin on
    syntax on

Videm Installation (Linux):
1. Download videm-<version>-<build>.tar.bz2 and extract it
2. Put everything which in videm folder to ~/.vim, or put videm to ~/.vim/bundle if you use pathogen

After above steps, you can open videm workspace. Just run
:VidemOpen <workspace-name>.vlworkspace

3. If you wish use VIMCCC, please install libclang 3.0
4. If you wish use OmniCpp or OmniCxx, please install videm-tools

Videm-tools Installation(Linux):
1. Download videm-tools-<version>.tar.bz2 and extract it
2. Open videm workspace
3. Run 'Release' Batch Build (press '.' and select the menu)
4. After step 3, videm generates a videm folder in the root of videm-tools-{version} folder, just run "cp -r videm/* ~/.vim/_videm" or "cp -r videm/* ~/.vim/bundle/videm/_videm" if you use pathogen

Installation(Windows):
1. Download videm-<version>-<build>.tar.bz2 and extract it
2. Put everything which in videm folder to $VIM\vimfiles (for example of mine: C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles) or put videm folder to $VIM\vimfiles\bundle if you use pathogen
3. Download win32bin-<version>.zip and extract it and put all files(exes and dlls) into $VIM\vimfiles\_videm\bin or $VIM\vimfiles\bundle\videm\_videm\bin if you use pathogen, and add this folder to the environment variable PATH
4. Install MinGW 4.x. You can download MinGW-4.4.1.7z in http://code.google.com/p/vimlite/downloads/detail?name=MinGW-4.4.1.7z
5. Add bin folder path (mine is D:\MinGW-4.4.1\bin) of MinGW to the environment variable PATH
6. Download videm-tools-<version>-win32.zip and extract it and put all folder (bin and lib) into $VIM\vimfiles\_videm\bin or $VIM\vimfiles\bundle\videm\_videm\bin if you use pathogen
7. (Optional) If you wish use code completion engine based on libclang, install libclang 3.0

Migrate From Old Version:
Since videm-1100, the folder placement is changed, so you need do some migration.
1. Just move ~/.videm/* to ~/.vim/_videm/ or ~/.vim/bundle/_videm/ if you use pathogen. On Windows just move $VIM\videm\* to $VIM\vimfiles\_videm\* or $VIM/vimfiles\bundle\_videm\ if you use pathogen.
2. Install the latest videm

Others:

NOTE: Macros for OmniCpp need update for glibc 4.7. Add the followings to 'Macros:' of Videm->'OmniCpp Tags Settings...' - 2013-12-11
// glibc 4.7
#define _GLIBCXX_NOEXCEPT
#define noexcept
