Introduction
You'll want to use this plugin if you work on a lot of projects with different build systems. You want your editor to be able to detect your current build system and set 'makeprg' accordingly.
To make building really fast, map the :make command to a function key in your vimrc.
nnoremap <F5> :<C-U>make<CR>
How it works
This plug-in works by looking for known build files in the current working directory upwards, and sets 'makeprg'; by default this happens on start-up. You can use the command to re-evaluate 'makeprg':
:Makeshift
Sometimes your build script won't be in the current working directory, this is particularly common when 'autochdir' is set. For this reason :Makeshift sets b:makeshift_root to be the directory containing the build script that it used to determine the build system.
:MakeshiftBuild is a wrapper around Vim's own :make command, which changes directory to b:makeshift_root before calling :make with any arguments you provide and then returns to your working directory. If you often work in subdirectories, you may want to map the :MakeshiftBuild command to a function key in your vimrc:
nnoremap <F5> :<C-U>MakeshiftBuild<CR>
nnoremap <F6> :<C-U>MakeshiftBuild check<CR>
...
Alternatively you can use the makeshift_chdir option to automatically change the current working directory to the one containing your build script.
Settings
To tune the behaviour of this plugin, add any of the following switches to your vimrc:
let g:makeshift_on_startup = 0
To prevent Makeshift from setting 'makeprg' on BufRead:
let g:makeshift_on_bufread = 0
To prevent Makeshift from setting 'makeprg' on BufNewFile:
let g:makeshift_on_bufnewfile = 0
To prevent Makeshift from setting 'makeprg' on BufEnter:
let g:makeshift_on_bufenter = 0
To automatically change directory to 'b:makeshift_root' when it is discovered:
let g:makeshift_chdir = 1
To try the build file in the current directory before searching from the file directory:
let g:makeshift_use_pwd_first = 1
To enable search for bundled build program/script:
let g:makeshift_find_bundled = 1
Build Systems
Makeshift currently associates the following files with their build systems:
* Jamfile: bjam
* Makefile: make
* GNUmakefile: make
* Rakefile: rake
* SConstruct: scons
* build.gradle: gradle
* build.xml: ant
* mix.exs: mix
* pom.xml: mvn
* build.ninja: ninja
* wscript: waf
Adding a new build system
If Makeshift doesn't already know about your build system, or you wish to override the default program for a given file, you can define a dictionary, which has filenames as keys and corresponding programs as values.
let g:makeshift_systems = {
'build.sbt ': 'sbt',
\}
Removing a build system
If you don't want Makeshift to set 'makeprg' for a given build system, you can disable it by defining a list of the files to ignore.
let g:makeshift_ignored = ['Jamfile']

install details |
I recommend installing pathogen.vim (vimscript#2332), and then simply copy and paste:
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/johnsyweb/vim-makeshift.git
vim -cHelptags
Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with
:help makeshift
Alternatively, just unzip the file into your 'runtimepath' and run :helptags. |
