How can make emacs immediately compile a file I load?

Question

Usually when I load a project, I want to compile it once right away, be it to again see the compilation error I was working on or just to build the dependencies of the checkout, so I don't have to wait for the entire build when I've actually done some changes.

Of course I can simply press C-c m (which I've mapped to recompile), but is there a way to achieve the build without any extra cue?

Answer 1

You could add hook into init.el

(add-hook 'find-file-hook
          (lambda ()
            (when (string= major-mode "c-mode")
              (recompile))))

for c-mode to recompile it automatically when you'll find-file.
