cc-mode + compilation

cc-mode + compilation

[David Trallero]

I would appreciate if there is a way in which I could compile my "C"
project (just execute a make) without care about the directory or file I
am editing. For example, if my project is in ~/my_projects/prjA/ and I
am editing /tmp/foo.txt, I would like to make something like: M-x
(re)compile-prj and execute a simple make.

I tried M-x compile and then to write as command: cd ~/my_projects/prjA
; make, but seems emacs is not always able to locate correctly the error
and warning messages (this is something I tried time ago and I do not
remember in which cases it did not work fine).

Is there also any emacs-package that use speed-bar to present the
"project" files (I assume there must be an interface to add and delete
files from the "project")?

Thanks a lot,
David

It seems fantastic, but It does not work properly on my emacs 22.1.1 :(.
I will keep and eye on it to see if newer version support them.

Thanks a lot for letting me know about this projects, I was looking for
something like that for years!

Well, I think I did. I got several warnings about variables not defined
and so on, but it "compiled". I am not able to get all the
functionality, but the most important are:

- When I do try to see a "button", for example in "M-x customize-face"
or "M-x customize-variable" the buttons DO NOT APPEAR.

- Emacs keep telling me an error about an "overlay" (dont remember the
name, maybe move-overlay) and about a function that do not exists every
5 seconds or so, but the worse, it consumes a lot of CPU!. If you want a
detailed information I can enable it again (compiling from beginning
again) and send you a detailed list of all errors.

Thanks

Do you have nxhtml installed?

But do post the errors - someone will be able to help.

Try this:

make -C ~/my_projects/prjA
