compile/run a code from emacs

compile/run a code from emacs

[Baloff]

Hello there
I wrote a code and a makefile using emacs,
then I went to the shell "all in emacs" and $make then $./project1 to 
run the program.
is there a way to just hit one key and it does "$make && ./project1" for me?
can someone help
thanks

In your source files, specify the value of the variable
`compile-command' like this:

/* 
 * Local Variables:
 * mode: c
 * compile-command: "make && ./project1"
 * End:
 */
  
If you want to bind, for instance, the function key `f5' to
compilation, you can put this in your init file:

(global-set-key [f5] 'compile)

HTH,
Raghavendra.

do you mean to put the above 4 lines in my c++ code but with out the /*, 
*, */? since they are for commenting?

when I put this line in my ~/.emacs and hit f5 I get "Mark set" in the 
mini buffer

The local variables section should be commented, since it is not part
of your source code.  So, do not remove the comment delimiters.

It looks like the `f5' key has been bound in your setup to
`set-mark-command'.  According to `(elisp)Coding Conventions',

  "Function keys <F5> through <F9> without modifier keys are reserved
   for users to define."

So the key should be unbound.  Did you load the init file, or evaluate
the key binding expression before trying the key?

ok, it works, I put the commented code in my source file and hit f5, it 
asked to save main.cpp and it then

opened another buffer window and compiled it, but did not run the program.
my line in the commented section is
*compile-command: "make && ./proj1"
since proj1 is the target I have in my makefile

Perhaps the `make' command finished with a nonzero exit status?  In
any case, your message indicates that your use of file variables is
correct.
