A simple wrapper around make to colorize the output.

colormake's Issues

Stop swallowing keys (meta, in particular)

I noticed this when a makefile target launched minicom (a serial port monitoring thing), and I couldn't use the Esc + x stroke that is required to quit it. I double checked by running the same Makefile using "regular" make, and it worked fine. So, seems like - colormake is indeed swallowing the "meta" key (and possibly others).. and subsequently breaking make's (and my) workflow. :-(

Issue moved to pull request (delete this issue if possible)

Time for new tag?

It would be great if we can have a tag for colormake at 20170221, thanks.

Color is not well performed in LLVM

I use the same interesting trick in gcc to LLVM to solve this problem.
This is just an advice

Markdown

Add a .md or .markdown extension to README and see the markdown rendered on github.

Color make's own warnings

When make is run with, for example, --warn-undefined-variables, it emits some warnings, like:

/home/user/project/something.mk:180: warning: undefined variable 'INSTALL_DIR'

It would be great to color these too.

Add tag

If this is a replacement for http://bre.klaki.net/programs/colormake/colormake-0.9.tar.gz could you make a tag so packagers can pull a stable version?

Thanks!

System-wide configuration file missing

Package is missing /usr/share/colormake/colormake.rc

Add a screenshot

It would be nice for a screenshot of colorized output to be added to README.md.

How I am supposed to use the test/ files?

To test the files from test I have to do something like:

cd test
PATH="$PATH:.." ../colormake

Maybe you could provide a run_test.sh script to do just that?

Does not wrap y/n prompts

When a makefile performs a 'copy -i' or an 'install' and the target file already exists, those utilities prompt the user to overwrite. That prompt is not "passed through" to the user by colormake. The result is that it seems to the user that the makefile operation has 'stalled' or is 'hung'.
