Hello,
I'm quite new to emacs. I used to type my TeX files in kile or in winedt.
I'd like to have a function similar to the 'quick build' feature in kile.
That is :
1) Save the file (one file or all the files related to a master file)
2) [In pdfmode] Do pdflatex on the file (or on the master file) then if
no error detected launch evince to see the resulting pdf file.
OR
[In dvimode] Do latex on the file (or on the master file) then if no
error detected do dvips then do ps2pdf then launch evince to see the
resulting pdf file.
3) If errors are detected, open a buffer to see the output
These steps would be done without prompting the user.
I'm confident that it is doable in emacs but I have no knowledge of emacs
lisp. So, if anyone could spend a few time in helping me, I would be very
grateful.
Thanks a lot.

The following should prevent emacs from querying for a save
before compilation:
(setq TeX-save-query nil)
I don't know what is evince. Anyway, for modern versions of
auctex (11.85), the viewers used
for preview are contained in the list TeX-output-view-style.
Probably evince is not supported by default, xpdf is the default on
my box. Here is how to add a new entry to the list. Put the following
in your init-file.
(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook (lambda ()
(add-to-list 'TeX-output-view-style
'("^.pdf$" "." "put-here-the-viewer-command arg"))))
Your viewer command take a few arguments (e.g. the placeholder for the
name of the file). These must
be added using the format specifiers. You may want to try
%s or %d for the value of arg, depending on your viewer.
These arg are explained in the documentation of the TeX-expand-list
variable. You can see this doc by typing while in
tex-mode C-h v TeX-expand-list.
Also, the following should prevent emacs from asking for the
viewer to use.
(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook (lambda ()
(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
'("View" "%V" TeX-run-discard nil t))))

ok. So I assume that a C-c C-c runs a test on the value of TeX-save-query?

evince is the default 'universal' viewver in ubuntu.

One question: frequently I find lambda() in .emacs customization. What
does it mean?

Thanks for this tip.

ok. By the way, is there a pdf version where all the descriptions (given
by C-h v) variables defined by auctex are available ?
Thanks again

yes.

This is the way to define an anonymous function.
(lambda () (instruction-1)(instruction-2)...)
is just a function with no name which executes
instructions when called. The following could have been used instead:
(defun my-function ()
(add-to-list 'TeX-output-view-style
'("^.pdf$" "." "put-here-the-viewer-command arg"))))
(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook 'my-function)
