Well I am sure there is a way to do what Xcode does with Makefiles. Look
at the terminal output for the build process for some ideas. Also, there
is the 'xcodebuild' tool to build an Xcode project from the command line.
But...

... there is no reason you can't use vim to edit your sources and Xcode to
build them. Just because Xcode has an editor built in doesn't mean you
have to use it. You can use any editor to modify the files.
Of course that is possible, but then things become less fun, even
ugly. So whenever I need to add/remove a file from the project, or do
smt to the project, I need to turn on Xcode, just for that? Whereas
with vim, I just need to open the Makefile, and modify it. Very simple
and quick shot.
For those are familar with programming from console/terminal, GUI is
not effiecient at all. Anybody is used to vim must agree with me :-)
So there is absolutely no way to skip using Xcode??? I cannot believe that!!
Thanks.
