I have my own compile function that I bind to C-c C-c, that uses the shell
buffer instead of the compilation buffer (I prefer to have it all
integrated in one place):
(defun clear-shell-buffer ()
(interactive)
(let ((comint-buffer-maximum-size 0))
(comint-truncate-buffer)))
(defun my-compile (cmd)
(interactive
(list (compilation-read-command compile-command)))
(if (get-buffer "*shell*")
(switch-to-buffer-other-window "*shell*")
(shell))
(clear-shell-buffer)
(end-of-buffer)
(comint-kill-input)
(insert cmd)
(end-of-line)
(comint-send-input)
(unless (equal cmd (eval compile-command))
(setq compile-command cmd)))
The first time you compile, you have to enter the compilation command:
C-c C-c ./mach build subdir RET
But after that, the cmd is remembered and you can simply do:
C-c C-c RET
