Yes, that would probably be a useful enhancement. tm> Or would it make sense to put normal information to stdout and debug tm> information to stderr? No, I don't like this. Remember that commands that make invokes also use stdout/stderr, so if you redirect all stderr to a debug log file (for example) you'll also be redirecting the stderr of all the compilers, etc. invoked by make to the log file; that doesn't seem useful. tm> This would make it possible to write a detailed report, each time tm> "make" is run and when users complain about "strange problems" tm> some more information would be there to trace the problems. Mm. Well, I don't know if I'd go that far myself, but of course you're free to put in place whatever procedures you like :-). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
