[arch-general] How to get colorized output during prog compilation? ( Colorgcc doesn't color gcc output )
Hi all. Like posted in this topic( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=110301 ), my problem doesn't seem to be solved. Color gcc is not called by gcc and thus not colorizing the output of gcc. The funny thing is that if i call "colorgcc" directly when compiling some code, I get colorized output. It may sound stupid but this script helped quite a lot to point out warnings and to see immediatly where I went wrong. It's really a big help. Hasn't anyone else had this problem? Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? gcc: gcc (GCC) 4.5.2 colorgcc: colorgcc 1.3.2-6 Thanks in advance, Francesco

Colorgcc is a wrapper for gcc. It will never be called by the gcc binary. You may use an alias if you want the gcc command to call colorgcc. -- Cédric Girard

The alias trick doesn't work when using a makefile.

Obviously. You have to modify the Makefile. Colorgcc is just a perl script that parses the output of gcc. gcc has no idea about it. If you are struggling with gcc's error messages maybe you should try clang, which provides much more user-friendly error messages and warnings. -- János

You can also use symlinks. By default, colorgcc creates symlinks in "/bin" without informing the user (created a bug ticket [1] concerning this issue btw as I don't like that way of automatically creating wrapper symlinks somewhere). You can either change that or try to fix your "$PATH". [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22279

Just solved my issue. I created symlinks in my "/usr/local/bin" folder. Forum post is here in case anyone needs it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=867368 Thanks guys

Maybe it's just nonsense, but have you tried setting CC variable before runing the compilation? Something like export CC=/usr/bin/colorgcc Make should than use the colorgcc instead of gcc.

Assuming you are using makepkg, you can change the CC variable in /etc/makepkg.conf
