Subject: compilation bully mode
Date: Sat, 01 Oct 2011 06:26:27 +0800

A Makefile or some other file occupies my entire screen.
I now do (compile "seq 999")
How can I make the *compilation* buffer now occupy the entire screen
with the bottom of the buffer visible, all with no additional
keystrokes? The hacks people gave me that I put into
http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs no longer work as of
emacs-snapshot:
  Installed: 1:20110926-1
and frankly I don't understand why there is no
(set  Man-notify-method 'bully) like choice for compilation mode.

The Emacs-23 way to do that should be:
(add-to-list 'special-display-buffer-name
             '(("*Compilation*" (same-window . t))))

How about for Emacs-24?

Backward compatibility requirements mean it will work as well.
But if you want to do it the Emacs-24 way, then you'll want to use
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
             '("*Compilation*" display-buffer-same-window))

Sounds similar to the
(setq display-buffer-alist
 (cons '(((regexp . "\\*compilation.+\\*"))
	 (function ; was "fun-with-args" before
	  (lambda (buffer &rest args)
	    (delete-other-windows)
	    (let (display-buffer-alist)
	      (display-buffer buffer 'same-window))))
	 (override . t))
       display-buffer-alist))
in my http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs that recently stopped
working :-(

I'll try the pop-up-frames mentioned in Bug #9641, and reopen if still
having problems.

That's using a format of display-buffer-alist which we don't use any
more (i.e. it was only installed temporarily on the trunk and then
replaced by something else).
