Questions tagged [flymake]

Flymake is a minor editing mode for Emacs that performs on-the-fly syntax checks on the contents of your current buffer as you edit it, highlighting errors and warnings against the lines they occur on.

Flymake currently has in-built support for C/C++, Java, XML, Perl, PHP and Tex, there are also plugins available for Python and Ruby.

Some useful places to get started:

Flymake mode has been bundled with Emacs since v23, prior to that you needed to manually install it.

Is there a way to make flymake to compile only when I save

When I type flymake makes the cursor hang a little. It's kind of annoying. I was wondering if there is a way to tell flymake to do not parse and compile each time I change something, just do it when I save. Any other suggestion? Thanks,

Configure Emacs Flymake to call g++ directly

When writing simple, one file, C++ code, I usually call g++ directly. By default, Flymake seems to assume the presence of a Makefile with a check-syntax target. How do I configure Flymake to simply call g++ directly, e.g: g++ -c a.cpp If the…
