Go to: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/error/Attic/error.h and you'll notice it was removed 11 months, 3 weeks ago. >Fix: Remove it from the Attic and reincorporate it in the FreeBSD distribution. Instead of invoking error this way: make foo | error -v This way makes it seem as though it doesn't detect any errors. One must redirect stderr thusly: make foo 2>&1 | error -v It works just fine and it is incredibly useful. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
