Sometimes when compiling big projects using Makfiles, it can be hard to see the errors and warnings. To help with this task, colormake is a little script to colorize make’s output:
#!/bin/bash # # Usage: colormake [-w | -s PATTERN] MAKE_OPTIONS # # -w Yellow warnings # -s PATTERN Make lines containing PATTERN green # Colors _ESC="$(echo -en '\e')" C_NULL="${_ESC}[00;00m" C_RED="${_ESC}[31;01m" C_GREEN="${_ESC}[32;01m" C_YELLOW="${_ESC}[33;01m" C_LIGHTBLUE="${_ESC}[36;01m" if [ "${1}" == "-s" ] && [ ! -z "${2}" ]; then pattern="${2}" shift 2 exec make "$@" 2>&1 | sed \ -e "s/\(^make.*\)/${C_LIGHTBLUE}\1${C_NULL}/" \ -e "s/\(.* [Ee]rror:.*\)/${C_RED}\1${C_NULL}/" \ -e "s/\(.*${pattern}.*\)/${C_GREEN}\1${C_NULL}/" elif [ "${1}" == "-w" ]; then shift exec make "$@" 2>&1 | sed \ -e "s/\(^make.*\)/${C_LIGHTBLUE}\1${C_NULL}/" \ -e "s/\(.* [Ee]rror:.*\)/${C_RED}\1${C_NULL}/" \ -e "s/\(.* [Ww]arning:.*\)/${C_YELLOW}\1${C_NULL}/" else exec make "$@" 2>&1 | sed \ -e "s/\(^make.*\)/${C_LIGHTBLUE}\1${C_NULL}/" \ -e "s/\(.* [Ee]rror:.*\)/${C_RED}\1${C_NULL}/" fi
And here is what it looks like:
