By default, emacs takes the directory of current buffer as working directory for any command you issue. So, you may try either one of the following: a) M-x compile make -C /path/to/your/makefile or b) open your makefile and call "make" while that buffer is current buffer. >>>>> "andrew222" == andrew222 writes: andrew222> I then compiled it and I andrew222> got this message.
