< The variable compilation-scroll-output controls whether Emacs tracks
< the tail of the messages or not.
$ emacs -Q #using snapshot of late Sep 2006, sorry
(set-variable (quote compilation-window-height) 111 nil)
(compile "seq 222" nil)
And it still tracks the bottom, even though
compilation-scroll-output is nil, as default.
Using
Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Thu, 2007 Jan 4 11:19 UTC
GNU Emacs 22.0.92.14 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.20)
started with
/usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q -D \
--eval '(setq-default mode-line-buffer-identification
(quote (#("%14b" 0 4 (face (:weight normal))))))' \
-fn "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1"
in a compile with
(setq compilation-scroll-output nil)
point stays at the top of the *compilation* buffer window;
and in a compile with
(setq compilation-scroll-output t)
point tracks the bottom.
This is what is supposed to happen and no change is needed for the
current CVS Emacs.
(set-variable 'compilation-window-height 111 nil)
sets compilation-scroll-output to a non-nil value, so we should expect
point to track the bottom. As describe-function says
(set-variable VARIABLE VALUE &optional MAKE-LOCAL)
Set VARIABLE to VALUE. VALUE is a Lisp object.
