Hi, The package for GNU Make contains a patch that makes it produce additional output suitable for `nix-log2xml'.
This output is a nuisance to me: it's verbose, often redundant with that produced by makefiles, it uses escape codes that make it harder to read (e.g., when you send it to a file), it does not honor `-s', etc. The last problem I had was a test suite failure with Automake caused by the patch: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.bugs/4234 I would prefer it if the user-installed Make didn't have that feature. Can we make this patch optional and, for instance, use it only in stdenv by default? (This would still be a problem for Automake's test suite, though.) Thanks, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
