Is there any way to have Emacs display everything that is happening when running term / eshell?

For example, when I try to build Emacs in the tmp directory, there should be a downloading message in the terminal window that tells me the status. However, nothing is displayed. I believe it might be silently doing the job, but I want to see what the normal terminal window application usually displays when running?

M-x eshell
$ cd /tmp
$ bzr branch --stacked bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk emacs-trunk

I'm not seeing the usual message: 6167kB 243kB/s | Finding revisions

  • This works for me (using your exact example) in Emacs 24.3.1/Linux. – phils May 01 '13 at 20:51
  • Thank you for verifying that this should work. I just built a new one from the trunk using terminal.app on the Mac, but I still (even with the brand new build) cannot get M-x-term to display the status of what is happening. I'll try an older more stable release and see if it works with that, so that I can at least see what is supposed to happen when it works correctly. Then, I'll submit a bug report once I'm sure that it's not me. – lawlist May 01 '13 at 22:34
  • Double check that you're specifying the same shell when you start `M-x term` that you're using when you test this outside of Emacs, in order to eliminate that as the culprit. – phils May 01 '13 at 22:47

(defun lawlist-eshell ()
(interactive)
  (let ((process-environment (cons "TERM=xterm" process-environment)))
    (eshell)))
