[ILUG-BOM] running the XEmacs "compile" command in bash

Hi,

Recently started using XEmacs for most of my coding work. The USP was the "compile" command that lets you use C-` to cycle through errors from the compiler-generated messages.

But it seems XEmacs invokes "sh" for the purpose, although ~/.emacs_bash exists, and SHELL is set to "/bin/bash". It invokes bash correctly when I use "M-x shell".

The problem is that my Makefile's depend on a lot of environment variables that are set using my .bashrc But sh invoked in non-interactive mode will not load .profile, which is the equivalent file.

I need a way to make sure that XEmacs uses /bin/bash when compiling so that all the necessary environment variables are set from my .bashrc

Sameer.
