When doing cgo I get confused when to type make (to compile C code) or when to type go build (to compile Go code). Also in Vim you use :make, so to stop any confusing I'm using the following function. This allows me to always use 'make'.

zsh make function for golang

make() {
    if [[ -f Makefile || -f GNUMakefile ]]; then
        command make "$@"
        return
    fi
    go build
    # if go build failed with exit code 1, the build env wasn't
    # correct, in that case, try make again
    if [[ $? -eq 1 ]]; then
        command make "$@"
    fi
}
