M-x compile

M-x compile

[Glenn Hancock]

Is there a quicker way to execute the compile process than to have to hit 
Alt X and then manually type out the word compile?

Thanks,

Sure, bind compile to some nice key-binding.  This is what I often
use: (define-key global-map "\C-xc" 'compile)

Of course, there is: this is Emacs!

It goes like this:

  - first time you compile, type "M-x compile RET" and then type the
    compilation command

  - second time you compile, type "M-x recompile RET"

  - thereafter, "M-x" followed by enough up-arrow keys to get to the
    "recompile" command will do

Apropos M-x compile -- is there any way to set environment variables that may 
be needed by Makefiles when M-x compile runs make: e.g. DEVROOT or cognates?

The current env in emacs is passed on to the compile process.
So, just M-x setenv DEVROOT or put it in your .emacs.  If you
need a different environment for different buffers, it's 
a bit more ugly.

You can put them in your compile command like:

ENVVAR=xyz make

and/or

make OVERRIDEVAR=xyz

Thanks for the help.  Couldn't figure out the key binding but the recompile 
thing was very helpful.  Didn't even know I could do that at all nor did I 
realize I could arrow up for command history.

Thanks a lot...
