I've spend about 8 hours trying to track this down.

I would like to the compilation  buffer output to scroll even when my
cursor is not in it.
I have seen all of the recommendations to enter use the following...

(setq compilation-scroll-output t)

But this doesn't work as I had hoped.

Again,
I would like to have my cursor in the code,
use the compile command,
The window will spit
my cursor stays in the code  window
the compilation window will scroll as it goes along.

I KNOW this can be done. I had it set up this way years ago and I
can't remember how I did it.
