That's the other piece missing in your code. So make sure that `compile-pkg' returns the buffer returned by `compile' and replacing your compile-hgpull with this should do the trick: (defun compile-hgpull () (interactive) (save-all-buffers) (with-current-buffer (compile-pkg "hg pull -u") (setq-local compilevar 1))
