I have set up a build server which uses CMake and Makefiles on Windows using nmake. The build server pipes the output of both, so there's no colored output. But when I set the environment variable TERM to "xterm" nmake prints the messages like "Building xy" colored. On my Linux build server this doesn't work however. I guess because the CMake generated Makefile checks if isatty returns true (which would mean the output isn't piped). As there are situation where one wants to have colored output even if piped, it would be great, if CMake supported some kind of environment variable to force it on all platforms. As I was tired of all the different names, I've set up a page, which summarizes a possible standard name: http://bixense.com/clicolors/ What do you think about CMake to outputting ANSI colored text when CLICOLOR_FORCE is set to 1?
