I am using gmake to do parallel builds. It can be quite hard to find out which
message comes from which source file so I would like to colour the output of
every compilation.
I've currently hacked it by piping the output of individual compilations
through a pipe which adds colour:
g++ ... 2>&1 | (while read line; do setterm -foreground XXX; echo "$line" ;
done; setterm -foreground default)
where XXX is a colour which is different for every compilation. Works but
- is slow
- does not guarantee the output is in the correct colour; all the compilations
are 'fighting' for the terminal.
- does not set the return value correctly.
Is it possible to do something like this inside gmake?
Regards,
Mattijs
