Nice video, I don't know about M-x compile command, makes works with C easier. But I have feeling that must by more compact way to do it in Emacs. More Emacs way.

Great! I do have a couple questions:
1) Can you compile into an external directory (eg ../build/)
2) Can you change the name from a.out to something else?
3) Is it possible to make an emacs shortcut key to compile quickly for debugging?

Thanks :D

How did you change windows between the source file and the shell? Did you do an option+click?

If you are executing the a.out file with shell, why don’t you just use shell for the gcc command as well?
