Combining code from How can I prevent emacs from opening new window for compilation output? and code from http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CompilationMode, this is all my code for compile, it provides you 4 features:
1). Use compile-again to run the same compile as the last time automatically, no prompt. If there is no last time, or there is a prefix argument, it acts like M-x compile.
2). compile will split the current window, it will not affect the other windows in this frame.
3). it will auto-close the *compilation* buffer (window) if there is no error, keep it if error exists.
4). it will highlight the error line and line number of the source code in the *compilation* buffer, use M-n/p to navigate every error in *compilation* buffer, Enter in the error line to jump to the line in your code code.
