Hi,
Usually when I run the 'compile' command I give it some form of the
following:
cd ~/where/my/project/is/located && make
Directory name completion does not work here so I have to actually the
full path.
Is it possible to get name completion working in this case?
Thanks,
-Etay Meiri

Yes, indirectly. First cd to that directory or a file from that
directory or the directory itself in dired-mode ...
You just need to become more clever than GNU Emacs! It's just a piece
of software.

It's not perfect, but this provides file name completion on the F7
function key:
(require 'comint) ; comint-dynamic-complete-filename
(define-key minibuffer-local-map (kbd "<f7>")
'comint-dynamic-complete-filename)

In Emacs 23, to be released in a (hopefully) short while, completion
does work when you type the command at "M-x compile"s prompt.

Thanks, I tried this in 23.0.90.1 and indeed it works.
