I've recently been using the Windows 8.0 Powershell package manager program called "scoop" (see https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop for more details), which is based off of Mac's HomeBrew. I have installed Vim (7.4) with this tool. I am trying to make use of a vim syntax highlighting plugin called syntastic (see https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic), since vim as it is currently installed on my machine does not seem to recognize Go language syntax. However, I am not sure where to start in terms of integrating this plugin with Vim. Scoop installs Vim with a plugin sub directory...the directory path on my computer would be:
~\AppData\Local\scoop\apps\vim\7.4\plugin
I've tried cloning the syntastic repository into the plugin directory, but the Go syntax is still not recognized.
I do not want to install vim as a separate IDE, because I prefer working within the shell (the same way vim integrates with a Cygwin terminal). Is there possibly another plugin I should try using all together?
Thank you very much for any info/ time put into answering this question.
