all I wanted to do was make the compilation-mode-hook the sole visible buffer

All I wanted to do was make the compilation-mode-hook the sole visible buffer.
(setq
 compilation-mode-hook
 (function
  (lambda ()
    (delete-other-windows);doesn't work, so try:
;   (enlarge-window 111);window-resize: Cannot resize the root window of a frame
    )))

Please don't tell me about frames again.
All I want to do is make this work.

I see, I must first do switch-to-buffer,
(setq
 compilation-mode-hook
 (function
  (lambda ()
    (switch-to-buffer "*compilation*")
    (delete-other-windows))))
OK. Solved.

Have you tried:

  (add-to-list 'same-window-buffer-names "*compilation*")

?

Perfect! Thanks!

It turns out that is not what I want. I want it to be the sole window visible.
OK, I can use
(add-hook
 'compilation-mode-hook
 (function
  (lambda ()
    (switch-to-buffer "*compilation*");alas, forget using any personal compilation-buffer-name-function
    (delete-other-windows))))

I believe that the hook function will be executed in the context of the
compilation buffer so you may not need to call 'switch-to-buffer. Also, the
'function' form is unnecessary (in general, not just in this particular
example). You could reduce your code to:

(add-hook 'compilation-mode-hook 'delete-other-windows)

Now you can use the 'remove-hook function if you decide you no longer need
the hook; approach which does not work when you add anonymous functions as
hook functions.

Very elegant however it doesn't work.
emacs-version "24.0.91.1"
