My suggestion is to use the pre-built, non-GUI, cygwin version of vim from: http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/vim-5.6/index.html > Can anyone show me what changed do I have to make in .bashrc, cygwin.bat or > any related file to use VIM with and without GUI? Add export VIM=/usr/local/share/vim to your .bashrc. > Any file or program I need to in order to make the editor work? You should create ~/.vimrc (can be empty); otherwise, vim defaults to vi mode and will not autosense file types. This can lead to spurious ^Ms in your files...
