vim-makefile-manager

Vim plugin that provides commands to switch between different Makefiles.

Demo

Introduction

I made this plugin because of the following reasons:

• I work with projects containing several Makefiles
• I do no want to configure Vim for each project
• I want the quickfix list to be functional after make has been called

vim-makefile-manager offers an efficient way to select a Makefile using fzf. Then this Makefile will be called using a relative path: :Make -C <path/to/selected/makefile>. This way of calling the Makefile ensures the Vim quickfix list will be functional. I always keep the project root directory as the current working directory.

Finally I like to set keyboard shortcuts in my .vimrc to use this plugin: F7 to build and Shift-F7 to select the Makefile.

Requirements

• fzf
• vim-dispatch
