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.

       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> and updated by
