Re: [rfc] Colorized output for GNU make?

[Sebastian Pipping]

Hello again,



it would be great to have some feedback on this - anyone?


To re-summarize:

 - make does not color its output itself as of now

 - colorized output would help distincing output by make
   from output by programs involked by make, example at [1]

 - existing wrappers (like colormake [2]) have problems

 - There is a quickhack patch against make 3.82 at [3]

 - I am willing to keep working on that patch
   until you like it enough to apply it upstream

 - I don't know about your expectations on such a patch
   yet, but I need to know.

Please get back to me on this.  Thanks!
