How to efficiently “make” with Vim

Question

What I am trying to do seems a very basic stuff, but I can\'t find anything about it. I am working on a project built as usual:

project
|-- bin
|-- inc
`-- s

The solution of rampion is a first step, but computed on vim load. When I load a multi tab session, the path can be inconsistent from one tab to another.

Here my solution (+ extra with tabnew).

fun! SetMkfile()
  let filemk = "Makefile"
  let pathmk = "./"
  let depth = 1
  while depth < 4
    if filereadable(pathmk . filemk)
      return pathmk
    endif
    let depth += 1
    let pathmk = "../" . pathmk
  endwhile
  return "."
endf

command! -nargs=* Make tabnew | let $mkpath = SetMkfile() | make  -C $mkpath | cwindow 10
