vim-cmake

vim-cmake is a Vim plugin to make working with CMake a little nicer.

I got tired of navigating to the build directory each time, and I also disliked setting makeprg manually each time. This plugin does just that.

:CMake searches for the closest directory named build in an upwards search, and whenever one is found, it runs the cmake command there, assuming the CMakeLists.txt file is just one directory above. Any arguments given to :CMake will be directly passed on to the cmake command. It also sets the working directory of the make command, so you can just use quickfix as with a normal Makefile project. If you have the AsyncRun plugin installed, it will be used automatically and you will be able to check the result of the cmake command in the quickfix as well.
:CMakeClean deletes all files in the build directory. You can think of this as a CMake version of make clean.
:CMakeFindBuildDir resets the build directory path set for the current buffer and then tries to find a new one. Useful if it previously found a wrong path to then reset it after a new build folder has been created for example.

g:cmake_install_prefix same as -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
g:cmake_build_type same as -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
g:cmake_cxx_compiler same as -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER. Changes will have no effect until you run :CMakeClean and then :CMake.
g:cmake_c_compiler same as -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER. Changes will have no effect until you run :CMakeClean and then :CMake.
g:cmake_build_shared_libs same as -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS
g:cmake_toolchain_file same as -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE
g:cmake_project_generator same as -G. Changes will have no effect until you run :CMakeClean and then :CMake.
g:cmake_export_compile_commands same as -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS.
g:cmake_ycm_symlinks create symlinks to the generated compilation database for use with YouCompleteMe.
b:build_dir is the path to the cmake build directory for the current buffer. This variable is set with the first :CMake or :CMakeFindBuildDir call. Once found, it will not be searched for again unless you call :CMakeFindBuildDir. If automatic finding is not sufficient you can set this variable manually to the build dir of your choice.

With pathogen.vim simply copy and paste:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/vhdirk/vim-cmake.git

Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with :help cmake.

With Vundle.vim simply add this repository to your plugins list:
