I am using "Screen" on Ubuntu.

How can I use 'screen' to compile my project and give me a notification when compile is done whether the build is successful or not?

    If the screen is running on the same machine as your desktop, you can do

     make 2> make.errors ; notify-osd "Compilation done" "`tail -3 make.errors`"

    or

    (make && notify-send "Compilation finished" "Success") || notify-send "Compilation finished" "Failure"

    If it is running on another system to which you connect over ssh, however, you will have to install a mailer that sends you an e-mail.
