I finally found it: I transparently filter make's output to colorize it. The problem is that here, make isn't only used to compile but also to start the configuration program. I don't think that such a feature is a good idea; is it standard? Moreover, why does the configuration program send its data to stdout (or stderr) instead of the terminal directly (since it's a ncurses program)? -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> - 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
