I have bound “compile” to M-g c, and “recompile” to M-g r. It totally simplifies everything!

I recommend quickrun.el for such case. quickrun.el is a extension to execute editing buffer. You can execute
only M-x quickrun.

quickrun.el execute not only script languages(Perl, Ruby, Python etc), but also compiling languages(C, C++, Go, Java etc)

Please see my repository

Great tutorial. I just want to mention that instead of going to the compilation buffer and pressing

to recompile it, you can also use

M-x recompile

that will rerun the last command used by

M-x compile

. The advantage of

M-x recompile

is that it works on any buffer (you don't need to jump over to the compilation buffer) and it also works if you have deleted your compilation buffer.

Right, that’s what I’m used to, but when in comint mode, this isn’t as easy

Have you tried auto-revert-tail-mode ?

In the compile buffer you can hit “g” and it will recompile it for you.

There are modes as well for running both py.test and nose in a compile buffer. I ported the nose support to py.test. The code is in marmelade and on bitbucket (http://bitbucket.org/elarson/pytest.el)

As an aside, I also use compile mode for tailing files so I don’t have to start up another shell-mode buffer.

Thanks for yet another great post

Quick question: Is there a binding I’m missing to `recompile’ in a compilation buffer that was started with comint mode?
