clmake(1)

clmake1

Color wrapper for make(1) and less(1)

Usage

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

Overview

clmake acts as a wrapper around make(1) to ease reading the output by colorizing it. It also pipes the output to the less(1) text pager.

Options

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

Usage

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

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