M-x compile problem under tramp

M-x compile problem under tramp

[sunway]

I have been using this elisp code:

(setq compilation-finish-function
      (lambda (buf str)
        (if (string-match "exited abnormally" str)
            (message "compilation errors, press C-x ` to visit")
          ;;no errors, make the compilation window go away in 0.5
seconds
          (run-at-time 0.5 nil 'delete-windows-on buf)
          (message "NO COMPILATION ERRORS!"))))

to close the Compilation buffer when there is no compilation error
when compiling.

how ever, when using M-x compile under tramp, the command will always
return "..finished.." instead of "exited abnormally" when there is
compilation error.  so the Compilation buffer will always be closed.
how to fix the problem?

You might try something like this:

(setq compile-command "make -k || echo Compilation exited abnormally with code $?")

Of course, you must also change your `compilation-finish-function'.
STR is still the success message of the process. Instead of, you might
check the buffer for the error message, like this (untested):

(setq compilation-finish-function
      (lambda (buf str)
        (save-excursion
          (with-current-buffer buf
            (goto-char (point-min))
            (if (re-search-forward "exited abnormally" nil t)
                (message "compilation errors, press C-x ` to visit")
              ;;no errors, make the compilation window go away in 0.5 seconds
              (run-at-time 0.5 nil 'delete-windows-on buf)
              (message "NO COMPILATION ERRORS!"))))))
