Flymake is a on-the-fly syntax checker for Emacs. It works by running a<br />
preconfigured syntax check tool in the background, processing the tool's<br />
output and highlighting errors in the current Buffer. The most common<br />
use is to check computer programs for errors, although flymake can be<br />
configured to use any program for checking the contents of a buffer.<br />
<br />
The [[Flyspell]] mode provides a similar functionality for spellchecking<br />
a document on the fly.<br />
<br />
== Configuration ==<br />
<br />
This section details how to make flymake work with different<br />
programming languages. <br />
<br />
=== C ===<br />
<br />
Using flymake with the C programming language requires some<br />
setup. Flymake expects a [http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ Makefile] in<br />
the current directory. The Makefile is required to have a target named<br />
"check-syntax". Thus a minimal Makefile for getting flymake to work<br />
could look like this:<br />
<br />
{{Snippet|<br />
.PHONY: check-syntax<br />
<br />
# depending on the compiler, -fsyntax-only has to be<br />
# replaced by another option<br />
<br />
check-syntax:<br />
$(CC) -fsyntax-only $(CHK_SOURCES)<br />
