Really? I think it displays the *compilation* buffer immediately. You can see that with `M-x compile RET C-a C-k sleep 10 RET'. > This is great when there are > warnings or errors, but when there aren't I would like to prevent Emacs > from opening the new window, and instead maybe just put a message in the > minibuffer indicating that compilation was successful.

Well, you could undisplay the window when the compilation finishes by calling delete-window or bury-buffer inside your own compilation-finish-function. You can access the EXIT-STATUS arg of compilation-handle-exit (which should be 0 for a successful command), since Emacs variables have dynamic scope. Or maybe you could do that inside (defadvice compile (after delete-window activate) ...) and then (re)display the buffer within your compilation-finish-function. -- Kevin Rodgers
