Hi all,

I know it was in the middle of the 19.15 rush so understand why I
didn't get much feedback on the compile patches I posted a few weeks
back.  I believe Steven applied them so the new functionality should
be there, at least in recent 20.1 betas (Steven, which versions have
this?  Sorry, I've been far too busy to upgrade from b102 lately..).

In particular, I'm interested if anyone has used the new variable
compilation-error-regexp-systems-list, which allows one to choose
which compilation error regexps get used for parsing.  Parsing is no
longer at all painful with this for me.  I imagine though that the
system identifiers could be better chosen and that changes may be
needed for systems other than solaris2.5.  (The default is all
regexps, so this should not have bitten you unless you try to use it).

thanks for any feedback
i'd like to get this all cleaned up
greg

btw- this is what I use in my .emacs:

(setq compilation-error-regexp-systems-list     '(gnu))
(setq compilation-mouse-motion-initiate-parsing nil)
(when (and (featurep 'compile)  ;; just in case compile already got loaded
           (fboundp 'compilation-build-compilation-error-regexp-alist))
  (compilation-build-compilation-error-regexp-alist))
