man colormake (Commandes) - color wrapper for make(1)

NAME

colormake - color wrapper for make(1)

colormakeR [ -f makefile ] [ option ] ... target ...

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

colormake uses the same command line options as make(1).

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.

Bjarni R. Einarsson is the author of colormake.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

This manual page was written by Joe Wreschnig <piman@sacredchao.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
