Thanks Pete, that seems reasonable. I do not know make very well so I wondered if there were some builtin defaults. This little excerpt from Info (emacs) Compilation made me think that:
"For the first `M-x compile', the default is `make -k', which is correct most of the time for nontrivial programs. (*Note Make: (make)Top.) "What does it mean then? Of course if there is a Makefile then "make -k" is correct for most nontrivial programs. At least I hope so ;-)
Then for trivial programs I obviously should try something else. Even though it is not true it feels like I have to know more to do simple things...
I think I will test something like smart-compile.el or mode-compile.el then. Have anyone tried to compare them?
