How to make to go to the base directory of project before calling the compile command.?

Hi,
I am using ede and cedet tools.
I have created the project by writing the required things in .emacs file.
What i want is,
 whenever i want to compile(<f6> key is bound to compile command)
it should go to the base directory on its own and prompt with a compile 
command,
I don't want to go to the base directory of the project by command M-x cd
every time i want to compile.
How to do that?
Is there an lisp code for that?
Anand

Try this code:


(global-set-key [f6] 'f6)

(defun f6 ()
  (interactive)
  (cd "<base dir>")
  (execute-kbd-macro "\M-xcompile\n")
  )

Try this:

(global-set-key [f6] 'f6)

(defun f6 ()
  (interactive)
  (dired "<base dir>")
  (execute-kbd-macro "\M-xcompile\n")
  )

where <base dir> is replaced by the name of your base dir.

M-x compile
cd base-dir && your-build-command-here

There is a compile history, so all your choices are stacked up and
scrollable via f6 (in your case) M-p.

Otherwise you need an expression that will transform your cwd into the
proper parent.  This requires one to follow some strict and predictable
naming/check-out pattern

Maybe put at the bottom of your file(s):
# Local Variables:
# compile-command: "cd ~/NERDSBERG && make snitwit"
# End:
