NAME
colormake - color wrapper for make(1)
SYNOPSIS
colormake [ -f makefile ] [ option ] ... target ...
DESCRIPTION
colormake acts as a wrapper around make(1) to ease reading the output
by colorizing it.
OPTIONS
colormake uses the same command line options as make(1).
USAGE
To change a makefile to use colormake, you may change the path at the
top which normally reads #!/usr/bin/make to #!/usr/bin/colormake.
Alternately, you may type colormake whenever you would normally type
make when compiling programs.
/usr/bin/colormake was formerly named /usr/bin/cmake but had to be
renamed because of a name clash.
FILES
The configuration files are Perl scripts included by colormake. The
defaults values are (from colormake itself):
# Some useful color codes, see end of file for more.
#
$col_black = "\033[30m";
$col_red = "\033[31m";
$col_green = "\033[32m";
$col_yellow = "\033[33m";
$col_blue = "\033[34m";
$col_magenta = "\033[35m";
$col_cyan = "\033[36m";
$col_ltgray = "\033[37m";
$col_norm = "\033[00m";
$col_background = "\033[07m";
$col_brighten = "\033[01m";
$col_underline = "\033[04m";
$col_blink = "\033[05m";
# Customize colors here...
#
$col_default = $col_ltgray;
$col_gcc = $col_magenta . $col_brighten;
$col_make = $col_cyan;
$col_filename = $col_yellow;
$col_linenum = $col_cyan;
$col_trace = $col_yellow;
$col_warning = $col_green;
$tag_error = "";
$col_error = $tag_error . $col_yellow . $col_brighten;
$error_highlight = $col_brighten;
For use with gnome-terminal I have the following configuration in my
$HOME/.colormakerc file:
$col_default = $col_black;
$col_gcc = $col_magenta;
$col_filename = $col_blue;
$col_linenum = $col_cyan;
$col_error = $tag_error . $col_red . $col_brighten;
/usr/share/colormake/colormake.rc
System-wide configuration file for colormake.
$HOME/.colormakerc
Personal configuration file for colormake.
