If you have VisualC++ 6.0, then you are well recommended to use the really cool delay loading feature to delay-load the perl DLLs. The advantage of this is that if your machine doesn't have a suitable perl DLL available, then gvim will still run fine (so long as you don't try to use any perl inside the vim session of course). Oh, and since the Perl DLL uses the C runtime in DLL form (msvcrt.dll), then gvim/vim should also do this (that's "/MD" in uSoft speak). In Makefile,w32 I use: CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -DNDEBUG /Ox /G6 /Ob1 /Os /MD /Gy PERL_LIB = /DelayLoad:perl56.dll $(PERL)\Lib\Core\perl56.lib DelayImp.lib (i.e., the link line has "/DelayLoad:perl56.dll" added. Some stub code is required to support delay loading, and uSoft supply this in DelayImp.lib). I also find that I need to append "/I $(PERL)\Lib\MSWin32-x86\Core" to PERL_INC too.

http://www.cs.fhm.edu/~ifw00065/vim/ The current CVS version of Vim (post 6.0.158) compiled for Windows with the Python interface enabled (Python 2.2) plus VisVim and OLE. IOW, everything like the standard 6.0.0 release from the Vim folks, just newer and with Python 2.2 support. Using the latest NSIS installer with bip2 compression, it's also much smaller than the original. It's only 2.3 megs :-)
