Follow-up Comment #4, bug #22923 (project make): We have implemented output merging with a shell wrapper script. We ask make to use this wrapper script via the SHELL variable.
The script itself is pretty simple, although it may be bash-centric: ---------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # Simple shell wrapper for stdout and stderr buffering # Created 2002, Erik Cumps # # Use with parallel makes to prevent confusing output. # Run make SHELL=makesh ... or edit makefile. # # This version merges stdout/stderr. cleanup() { if [ -f /tmp/makesh-$$ ]; then cat /tmp/makesh-$$ rm -f /tmp/makesh-$$ fi if [ "${RC}" = "beach" ]; then # interrupted before reaping child status or weird error echo "*** makesh: interrupted by signal before reaping child status" 1>&2 exit 42 else exit ${RC} fi } # Run command, redirect stdout/stderr to temp file # Remember command's exit status RC="beach" trap cleanup SIGHUP SIGINT SIGQUIT SIGTERM /bin/bash -c "$@" 1>/tmp/makesh-$$ 2>&1 RC=$? cleanup ---------------------------------------- _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?22923> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
