compilation-finish-function seems to be a good candidate.
e.g.
(setq compilation-finish-function
(lambda (buf msg)
(message (format "Comp: %s." msg))))
msg is one of: "Finished^J" or "exited abnormally with code N^J" where
N is the exit code. In FSF compile.el the messages seem to be
generated in compile-internal but I'm not sure where they are
generated in XEmacs (they appear to be different...). I don't see an
obvious way to extract the exit code directly without parsing this
message (at least in XEmacs the buffer and process are dissasociated
by the time this function is called).
I hope that helps or at least doesn't hurt. :-)
Cheers,
mike
