Hi,
Have you tried writing a makefile and then.. :!make Makefile >make.out or some such easy script name.. and then split ur vi in to two (CTRL + WS)opening the file make.out in the other half.. or better still have another window (ALT + LEFT ARROW if not in X :-) else just another terminal window) and have a "tail -f make.out " running..
there sure are some X tools to make u feel like u r programming in (click-click -click mode) windoz..
