On Unix-based systems, Vim should work without problem because there should be a "standard" diff program available. However, on other systems, some tricks may be required in order to have Vim find your diff program. Furthermore, the version of diff that you use may be different from that expected by Vim, for example, it may require different command line options. A common way of handling that situation is explained at [help diff-diffexpr] where an example shows a MyDiff() function that can pass any required command line to your diff program.

  • On Unix-based systems, Vim should work without problem because there should be a "standard" diff program available. However, on other systems, some tricks may be required in order to have Vim find your diff program. Furthermore, the version of diff that you use may be different from that expected by Vim, for example, it may require different command line options. A common way of handling that situation is explained at [help diff-diffexpr] where an example shows a MyDiff() function that can pass any required command line to your diff program. On Windows, many people use the "Windows Vim installers without Cream" setup package to install Vim. That package (see below for details) has a bug in the way that diff is installed. In addition, many other Windows users try to apply the MyDiff() advice, and can encounter similar issues, even if using a Vim from some other source. This tip explains how Windows users can overcome problems running diff from within Vim. In addition, some of the options available when invoking diff are explained.
