I'm a writer so I never compile, but the general way to bind a key is with:
M-x global-set-key
Follow the prompts.
Note that this only works for the current session, that is, when you shut
down Emacs it disappears. In the .gnu-emacs file there's a section on
keybindings. Just go to it and replace the current command with what you
like, save the file, then exit and start up Emacs. Then it'll work.
In mine the F1 key, which I think is at the default, is:
(global-set-key [f1] 'help-for-help) ; `Help'
Replace the help-for-help
