NAME

       colormake - color wrapper for make(1)

SYNOPSIS

       colormake [ -f makefile ] [ option ] ...  target ...

DESCRIPTION

       colormake  acts  as a wrapper around make(1) to ease reading the output
       by colorizing it.

OPTIONS

       colormake uses the same command line options as make(1).

USAGE

       To change a makefile to use colormake, you may change the path  at  the
       top which normally reads #!/usr/bin/make to #!/usr/bin/colormake.

       Alternately,  you  may  type colormake whenever you would normally type
       make when compiling programs.

       /usr/bin/colormake was formerly named  /usr/bin/cmake  but  had  to  be
       renamed because of a name clash.

FILES

       The  configuration  files  are Perl scripts included by colormake.  The
       defaults values are (from colormake itself):
       # Some useful color codes, see end of file for more.
       #
       $col_black =        "\033[30m";
       $col_red =          "\033[31m";
       $col_green =        "\033[32m";
       $col_yellow =       "\033[33m";
       $col_blue =         "\033[34m";
       $col_magenta =      "\033[35m";
       $col_cyan =         "\033[36m";
       $col_ltgray =       "\033[37m";

       $col_norm =         "\033[00m";
       $col_background =   "\033[07m";
       $col_brighten =     "\033[01m";
       $col_underline =    "\033[04m";
       $col_blink =        "\033[05m";

       # Customize colors here...
       #
       $col_default =      $col_ltgray;
       $col_gcc =          $col_magenta . $col_brighten;
       $col_make =         $col_cyan;
       $col_filename =     $col_yellow;
       $col_linenum =      $col_cyan;
       $col_trace =        $col_yellow;
       $col_warning =      $col_green;
       $tag_error =        "";
       $col_error =        $tag_error . $col_yellow . $col_brighten;
       $error_highlight =  $col_brighten;

       For use with gnome-terminal I have the following  configuration  in  my
       $HOME/.colormakerc file:
       $col_default =      $col_black;
       $col_gcc =          $col_magenta;
       $col_filename =     $col_blue;
       $col_linenum =      $col_cyan;
       $col_error =        $tag_error . $col_red . $col_brighten;

       /usr/share/colormake/colormake.rc
              System-wide configuration file for colormake.

       $HOME/.colormakerc
              Personal configuration file for colormake.
