eproject is made for you:

at
	http://tromey.com/elpa/

You have a per-project menu that you can edit on the fly to add
commands and (optionally) keystrokes.  Everything is loaded and
saved automatically and you can switch between project with two
keystrokes as if you were just switching to another buffer.

Here is for example (part of) my "emacs" project-menu:

make (f9)               : -in src make
clean (C-f9)            : rm -vf src/emacs-23.* etc/DOC* && make clean
stop (C-f8)             : -e kill-compilation
run (f8)                : src/emacs
---
configure               : ./configure
install                 : echo root-pass | sudo -S make install

I often want to do the following but I don't know how.

1 ) I would like to have a keystroke for compiling the same directory
(project), without having to type it.

2) How can I search for callers of the function I'm currently editing,
I found a weird solution using rgrep ? (in C)

Thanks.

(defun compile-project-foo ()
   (interactive)
   (let ((default-directory "~/project/foo"))
     (call-interactively 'compile)))

Learn to use session.el – it can save a lot of compile commands (M-x  
compile RET and then search the history). You can also create macros  
that take from anywhere you to some directory and invoke some compile  
command. Or you can develop your own ideas ...

I don't know what a caller is – I am using grep-find to search in  
particular files (with a name or endings like .m, .h, etc.) for some  
text (which can also be the name of a function) ...

People say that if you play Microsoft CD's backwards, you hear  
satanic things, but that's nothing, because if you play them  
forwards, they install MS Windows.

for the 2nd part of the question - there is a cscope interface:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CScopeAndEmacs


btw xcscope.el works quite well
