/prog/ - help with emacs lisp basics

I have a function in a file that's loaded in .emacs, but when I try to call it, Emacs returns a no match. What gives?

What gives?
No match.

are you sure the function is (interactive) or are you just calling it within other functions?

(interactive).

This is the code.

(defun compile-c ()

  (apply 'make-comint

     "cc" "/usr/bin/gcc" nil

     (list (buffer-file-name) "-Wall")))





(add-hook 'c-mode-hook

      (lambda ()

      (define-key c-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-l") 'compile-c)))

Try Textmate. You can customize it with Applescripts. Watch the screencasts.

(defun compile-c ()

  (interactive)

  (apply 'make-comint

     "cc" "/usr/bin/gcc" nil

     (list (buffer-file-name) "-Wall")))

commandp still complains.

You know, there is already M-x compile you can use

yes, (interactive) wasn't the problem as you weren't doing M-x compile-c. commandp is complaining because the program argument to make-comint isn't a command, I believe that the command argument may have to be an emacs function

erm, disregard that, I seem to have read the wrong documentation
