Subject: reading compile.el, modifying settings
Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 07:03:43 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1933055643.48627.1304431423078.JavaMail.root@aksu.oays-ds.com> (raw)
Dear emacs experts,
I use compile mode, but I have my own set of compiler
message regexps. I try to set them up as follows:
.emacs:
(load "compile")
(load-file "~/emacs/compile-settings.el")
compile-settings.el:
(setq compilation-error-regexp-alist ... )
However, when I compile in emacs, I end up with the
default compiler message regexps. I then have to
manually eval the load of compile-settings.el to
get my settings.
I think that when emacs starts up, it picks up my
setting for compilation-error-regexp-alist, but does
not immediately load compile.elc. Then when I do my
first compile, it loads compile.elc, and overwrites
my settings.
I thought that I could change my .emacs to explicitly
load compile.elc, but this is not so easy. The 'load'
function doesn't require an exact path, which makes it
convenient to use -- it keeps working even when I switch
to a newer version of emacs. If I use load-file instead,
then I have to give the full path to compile.el or
compile.elc, that is, I would have to duplicate all the
friendly logic in 'load'.
Any suggestions?
Paul
