[Vim-latex-devel] [PATCH] set makeprg to "make" if there is a Makefile

[Emmanuel G. <gra...@gm...>]

Hi all,

vim-latexsuite checks for a Makefile and set makeprg accordingly only
when Tex_CompileLatex() is called. The problem is when you want to use
the ":make" command : makeprg is set to the default rule (pdflatex),
so it does not use the Makefile.

Here is a small hack to make this feature work (add a check in
Tex_SetTeXCompilerTarget):

diff --git a/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/compiler.vim

                        let s:viewer = targetRule
