Can I open a split build window in gvim 8.1 that shows the build output live while I can continue looking at...
I like using gvim but I think its kind of time consuming to have to always watch the build process complete until I can continue editing.
I'd like to just hit a key and have a bottom split open up where I can see the code being compiled as well as the errors once its done, that automaticly scrolls to the bottom of the output.
I know theres vim dispatch, which does pretty much exactly what I want, but it seams to only work with vim and tmux and not with gvim.
Now is there anyway to emulate the same behaviour with gvim?
So I can just see the build ouput without interrupting my work?

Which version is your gvim? The latest
Vim/gVim 8.1
supports split windows:
Otherwise, you could use a workaround like this:
:!gvim -c 'MyMake'
You could also see whether dispatch.vim
is helpful (video Trailer):
Leverage the power of Vim's compiler plugins without being bound by synchronicity. Kick off builds and test suites using one of several asynchronous adapters (including tmux, screen, iTerm, Windows, and a headless mode), and when the job completes, errors will be loaded and parsed automatically.

Yes it does, but vim-dispach doesn't work with those for some reason. But you meantioned that vsplits are a vim 8.1 exclusive feature
