It's much simpler! This variable exists in GNU Emacs:

        compile-command is a variable defined in `compile.el'.
        Its value is "time nice +11 make -k bootstrap"
        Original value was "make -k "
        
	  This variable is potentially risky when used as a file local  
variable.
          This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value
	  satisfies the predicate `(lambda (a) (and (stringp a) (or (not  
(boundp (quote compilation-read-command))) compilation-read-command)))'.
        
        Documentation:
	Last shell command used to do a compilation; default for next  
compilation.
        
	Sometimes it is useful for files to supply local values for this  
variable.
	You might also use mode hooks to specify it in certain modes, like  
this:
        
            (add-hook 'c-mode-hook
               (lambda ()
                 (unless (or (file-exists-p "makefile")
                             (file-exists-p "Makefile"))
                   (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
                        (concat "make -k "
                                (file-name-sans-extension buffer-file-name))))))
        
        You can customize this variable.

I have it already customised, as you can see. To reach it you can use  
the Options menu with the sub-menu Customize Emacs or look up the  
documentation of compile-command per

        C-h v compile-command RET

and then click at the /customize/ hyper-link.
