Package: colorgcc Version: 1.3.2.0-4 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I'd like have a way to force colors, i.e. calling gcc with a pipe and getting colors. less, e.g., can show colors. I would propose this patch: --- /tmp/gcc 2006-01-17 07:44:50.104560992 +0100 +++ /home/joerg/bin/gcc 2006-01-17 07:47:17.000000000 +0100 @@ -236,7 +236,7 @@ # If it's in the list of terminal types not to color, or if # we're writing to something that's not a tty, don't do color. -if (! -t STDOUT || $nocolor{$terminal}) +if (! $ENV{"CGCC_FORCE_COLOR"} && (! -t STDOUT || $nocolor{$terminal})) { exec $compiler, @ARGV or die("Couldn't exec"); With it I can call "CGCC_FORCE_COLOR=1 make aufgabe1 2>&1 |less -R" and have colors and the advantages of less.
