I usually just stay in the root of the project-folder (I don't change the working directory), so the PWD is the same folder, where the Makefile is, so you can use make as intended. This should fix your problem. The other reason I do this is "sessions": I autosave my sessions in the current working directory (this is from my vimrc): " save session on losing focus au FocusLost * \ :exe "mks! _vimsession.vis" " also save colorscheme au FocusLost * \ :call writefile(['set bg='.&bg, 'color '.colors_name], '_vimsessionx.vim') So when I want to open my project, i just type: :so ~/path-to-project/_vimsession.vis And all project-files I worked on are opened. I also have an automator-workflow to do this by doubleclicking on the .vis-file.
