title: Running multiple compilations in Emacs (on Windows)?
body: <p><a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Compilation.html" rel="nofollow">The GNU Emacs Manual</a> says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If you want to run two compilations at once, you should start the first one, then rename the ‘<code>*compilation*</code>’ buffer (perhaps using <code>rename-uniquely</code>; see <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Misc-Buffer.html#Misc-Buffer" rel="nofollow">Misc Buffer</a>), and start the other compilation. That will create a new ‘<code>*compilation*</code>’ buffer.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I tried this, but it didn't work as advertised. I'm running this <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/elisp.html#Version-Info" rel="nofollow">version</a>:</p>
  
  <pre><code> GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That is, <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/" rel="nofollow">Emacs for Windows</a>, which might be the problem. Perhaps multiple compilations work well on other platforms?</p>
  
  <p><strong>How do I run more than one compilation in Emacs?</strong></p>
