compile command

compile command

[Rodrigo Canellas]

Hi,


In my '.emacs' I have this:

    (global-set-key [f9] 'compile)

But I would like to 'make' the project when I pressed 'f9'. 

I tried 

    (global-set-key [f9] '(compile make))   

but I got a syntax error.

I also tried (global-set-key [f9] '(compile (make)))  

but I got this message:

    Wrong type argument: commandp, (compile (make)


Does anyone know how it should be done?


Thanks,


Rodrigo Canellas

Yes, you should pay attention to the error messages!  If they're too
fugacious in the Mini-Buffer, you can see them in the *Message* buffer.

compile: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, make

You can set the variable compile-command to "make" and then invoke
recompile instead of compile.

Does that help?

I'll try and then let you know.

Thanks

You need to write something like
(defun run-make()
"Runs make skipping the intermediate `compile' step."
(interactive)
(shell-command "/directory/to/make/executable/make -f
/directory/to/makefile/Makefile1" "*run-make*" "*run-make-errors"))
And then bind this function to f9 by
(global-set-key [f9] 'run-make)

Others may have better suggestions.
