Q: 

Silent make execution in vim/gvim

I want to use gvim to launch make and do the build for my code. Since the build process takes some time i want it to be silently executed and then in the end errors/build log be showed to me.

i have added this to my .vimrc

:command -nargs=* Make silent make <args>  | cwindow 10
map <c-b> <c-o>:Make<cr>

So when i press Ctrl-b it starts building. But when i do that my gvim hangs and i cant do anything for sometime. Is there a way to accomplish what i am trying to do.

Since i am using cwindow 10 at the end of make , it launches the quickfix window. In addition to that i also want to see the build log. Can i somehow do that
