https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D208947 Bug ID: 208947 Summary: bsd-make looses colored output with -j 2 Product: Base System Version: 10.3-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: h2+fbsdports@fsfe.org Since version 5 of GCC and in all recent versions of clang color is used to greatly enhance the readability of the compiler output. With FreeBSD's make the color disappears, as soon as you use multiple jobs which is something you almost always want to do. To reproduce, create =3D=3Dtest.cpp=3D=3D #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "foo" << "bar; return 0; } =3D=3DMakefile=3D=3D test: test.cpp g++5 -o test test.cpp -std=3Dc++14 % make [see output with color] % gmake [see output with color] % make -j 2 [no color :'(] % gmake [see output with color] This might seems like it is not really important, but for larger codebases = with templatatized code (and thus huge error messages) it makes a big difference! Also, I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to fix? Thank you very much! --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
