Hi Team,

I have large code , and run make all command in vim but at the end it shows some error for navigating to that error I have to scroll down all the stuff which is very painful.

Is there is a fast way to see or navigate to file which is causing error ?

If you run make all by executing the vim :make command like this:

:make all

then all the errors will be captured in a quickfix list and you can
easily navigate to each one by using the :cn and :cp commands, or by
opening the quickfix list with the :copen command, searching or
scolling through the list and hitting Enter on the desired error.
In either case, Vim with then open a buffer containing that file and
with the cursor on the line with the error.

See

:help 30.1
:help :make
:help quickfix.txt

Regards,
Gary

I am running the make from my source directory outside.

like:   /home/kunal/code/> make all

I think :make all is from inside vim

yes you are right . It worked from inside and I was able to compile the code.
