Subject: Checking Process Status

I am trying to make "compile" synchronous. I am defining a function that
does a compile and looks at the *compilation* buffer. I need to wait until
the compile is finished before looking at this buffer. I think that my
problem is not knowing how to check the return of process-status. If I do
(setq stat (process-status "compilation")) right after the compile, it gets
set to a value "run". I don't know if this is a string or other type of
value. These are a couple of things that I have tried:
(while (equal (process-status "compilation") "run") (sleep-for .5))
(while (process-status "compilation") (sleep-for .5))
The first one fails the first time through, before the compile has finished.
The second one never finishes until I C-g, even though (process-status
"compilation") seems to return nil after the compilation finishes.
Does anybody have an idea of what I need to do here? Or is there a better
way of accomplishing this. The compiles normally take a fraction of a second
to complete, so this isn't going to cause the user any problem to have emacs
wait. I would hate to hardcode a delay. Thanks.
