I have a similar setup (I use my own script instead of latexmk).
I couldn't find an elegant way to do this, but the following works.
The first part is a Perl script that you can call 'launch_latexmk'.
It receives as a parameter the name of
the .tex file, does a few things, and eventually
launches a terminal window running latexmk -pvc
yourtexfile. Here it is:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use IO::File;
use strict;
my $texfile = $ARGV[0];
my $tmpfile = "/tmp/my_launch_latexmk";
my $dir = `pwd`;
chomp $dir;
my $f = IO::File->new("> $tmpfile");
$f->print("#!/bin/bash
# Automatically created by launch_latexmk
cd $dir
latexmk.pl -pvc $texfile
");
system("chmod +x $tmpfile");
system("open -a /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app $tmpfile");
The second part is a vim binding to run this when
entering a new tex file is opened (assuming this
launch_latexmk is in your $path):
au BufRead *.tex silent !launch_latexmk %:p
