NAME

colormake - color wrapper for make(1)

SYNOPSIS

colormake [ --short ] ...

DESCRIPTION

colormake acts as a wrapper around make(1) to ease reading the output by colorizing it.

OPTIONS

The --short option instructs colormake to truncate lines so they do not wrap. All other options will be passed unmodified to 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.

Colormake is also available using the alternate names which enable piping through less ( clmake ), truncated output so lines do not wrap ( colormake-short ), or both ( clmake-short ).

FILES

The configuration files are Perl scripts included by colormake.pl . The defaults values are (from colormake.pl 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.

HISTORY

/usr/bin/colormake was formerly named /usr/bin/cmake but had to be renamed because of a name clash.
