Message-ID: <120@qt.cs.utexas.edu> Date: 17 Aug 89 18:18:34 GMT Organization: University of Texas at Austin Lines: 21 When I try to use the M-x compile command emacs looks for a Makefile in the home directory. If it is there it executes make for that makefile. It does not make the Makefile in the current directory. According to the emacs manual it is supposed to change to the directory from wchih emacs was invoked and then do a make. I have a copy of the output in the compilation buffer. cd /v/mohawk/v0/arunk/research/allocation/results/ make -k make: no goal target. Stop. Compilation finished at Thu Aug 17 13:14:37 This inspite of a proper makefile in the current directory. Anything I am doing wrong??
