Hello There,
I use Makefiles to manage many kinds of projects, and would like to have
a "Make button" on the toolbar so that when I'm using the mouse I can
save my file and then just hit the button without confirming
compile-command. The idea is to have a button available whenever
there's a Makefile in the current directory.
I wrote the following according to what I read in the Elisp manual:
;; attempt to make a "Make" button appear in every buffer where the
;; default directory has a Makefile; perhaps cedet has something like this
;;
(define-key global-map [tool-bar make]
'(menu-item "Make"
compile
:visible t
:help "Run make"
:enable (file-exists-p (concat default-directory "Makefile"))
:image (image :file "refresh.png")))
After I evaluate this, the screen blinks (the frame is redrawn), but no
new button appears. What am I missing? Is there any much easier way (a
la easymenu) to do this?
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.6) of
2010-01-14 on x86-06.phx2.fedoraproject.org
Thanks,
Joel

Hello,
I am trying to define a globally available "make button" in the
toolbar. The button should appear (ideally) when there is a Makefile
in the default-directory, or (sub-optimally) at all times. It would
also be great if I could put it in the appropriate place in the toolbar,
somewhere after editing buttons, but before configuration or help
buttons.
The following code produces a button at the extreme left of the tool bar:
;; attempt to make a "Make" button appear in every buffer where the
;; default directory has a Makefile; perhaps cedet has something like
;; this
;;
(defun unconditional-compile nil
(interactive)
(compile compile-command t))
(define-key global-map [tool-bar make]
'(menu-item "Make"
unconditional-compile
:help "Run make"
:enable t
:image (image :type xpm :file "refresh.xpm")))
(define-key global-map [tool-bar C-make] 'compile)
This works (i.e. runs make in the current directory without prompting
me), but then the button disappears. Sometimes the button stays
visible, but I get a message in the echo area saying that "<tool-bar>
<make> is undefined." The one with the C-modifier also works, but with
the same after-effects. Third, even right after evaluating the above
code, switching to another major mode (e.g. dired) renders the button
invisible.
So first, how do I get this button to stay visible and keep working?
Then, how do I get this button all the time (in every major mode)?
Thanks,
Joel
