<h3>Displaying the compile-window on demand</h3>
<p>If you like displaying all output of compile/grep/etc. an all
temp-buffers like *Help*-buffers in an extra compile-window
(see <a href="Temp--and-compile-buffers.html#Temp-%20and%20compile-buffers">Temp- and compile-buffers</a>) but you dislike wasting the space
of this compile-window if you are just editing then you can get a
compile-window "on demand". Just do the following:
<ol type=1 start=1>
</p><li>Customize <code>ecb-compile-window-height</code> to not nil and save it for
future sessions. This gives you an extra compile-window at the
bottom.
<li>Add the following to your .emacs:
<br><pre>(add-hook 'ecb-activate-hook
(lambda ()
(let ((compwin-buffer (ecb-get-compile-window-buffer)))
(if (not (and compwin-buffer
(ecb-compilation-buffer-p compwin-buffer)))
(ecb-toggle-compile-window -1)))))
</pre>
<p>This hides the extra compile-window direct after the start of ECB
because there is no need for a compile-window at this moment. But the
hiding will not be done if there is a compile-window and if a
"compile-buffer" in the sense of <code>ecb-compilation-buffer-p</code> is
displayed in this compile-window. Without this additional check the
compile-window would always be hidden after the ECB-start even when
ECB is reactivated after a deactivation by the window-manager-support
of ECB (see <a href="Window-managers-and-ECB.html#Window-managers%20and%20ECB">Window-managers and ECB</a>); but in these cases we want
to preserve the state before deactivation as good as possible (see
also option <code>ecb-split-edit-window-after-start</code>).
</ol>
<p>This is all you have to do. Now if you run <code>compile</code> (or
<code>grep</code> or other compile-modes) or display temp-buffers like
*Help*-buffers then ECB autom. displays the compile-window at the
bottom and display the output there.
<p>If you have finished with using the compile- or temp-output (e.g.
fixing errors) then you can throw away the compile-window just by
<code>ecb-toggle-compile-window</code> - ECB will reactivate it autom.
before next compilation or help-buffer-display.!
