Hello again,
I've been doing more work on the patch. Version 3 is up at [1]. Since
version 2 I have made these changes:
- Fix: error() printed twice (first with color, then a second
time without)
- Add support for customizing colors through environment
variable "MAKE_COLORS"
- Add missing newline to end of debugging message
- Turn misc messages green by default, was cyan before
- Introduce flag for erase in line (similar to what grep has)
(Eli's feedback is not integrated yet, because I am waiting for a second
opinion before applying that.)
With v3 [1] applied, you could try these commands to get a feeling for
current defaults and MAKE_COLORS:
# make
# ./make --color
# export MAKE_COLORS='enter=0;42:leave=0;41:message=0:erase=yes'
# ./make --color
Best,
Sebastian
