Highlight compilation errors in source buffer

Highlight compilation errors in source buffer

[senny]

Hey emacs-users

Im looking for a way to highlight all the warnings and errors
displayed in the *compilation* buffer. I was wondering if there is a
way to achieve this or if I had to write the elisp code myself.

regards,
senny

i haven't done any customisation myself but many compilers errors and 
warnings are handled by default; have a look at the documentation for 
the compilation-error-regexp-alist variable

I've gone trough the documentation of the compilation-error-regexp-
alist and I think it is used to highlight the *compilation* buffer.
Probably I misspelled my question because my goal is to highlight the
source-buffer with the informations from the compilation-buffer.

i'm not sure what's the best way to accomplish what you want but maybe 
you could give the Flymake a try

M-: (info "(emacs)Flymake")
