Seems to me that most people will either use script or redirect the make output to a file. Computers are simply too fast and the output too voluminous to catch warnings and errors as they scroll by. If you use GCC you will probably have noticed that it inserts ansi color escape sequences in an attempt to highlight portions of the messages. If you peruse the typescript file or log file of your build then these escape sequences are very distracting and make it more difficult than necessary to read the message. GCC does have an option to turn them off.

For fossil builds on windows, create a file "config.w32" in the fossil root directory with the contents:

CFLAGS=-fno-diagnostics-color

For unix (which I have not used for a while) I suspect you could just invoke configure with:

env CFLAGS=-fno-diagnostics-color ./configure ...
