Program to use for the ":make" command. See :make_makeprg. This option may contain '%' and '#' characters (see :_% and :_#), which are expanded to the current and alternate file name. Use ::S to escape file names in case they contain special characters. Environment variables are expanded :set_env. See option-backslash about including spaces and backslashes. Note that a '|' must be escaped twice: once for ":set" and once for the interpretation of a command. When you use a filter called "myfilter" do it like this:

:set makeprg=gmake\ \\\|\ myfilter

The placeholder "$*" can be given (even multiple times) to specify where the arguments will be included, for example:

:set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$*}

This option cannot be set from a modeline or in the sandbox, for security reasons.
