It may be a very bad idea to make colormake replace make by default.
colormake generates color codes even if the output is not a terminal. If you do:
$ colormake foo
then foo will contain the color change codes.
It would break a lot of scripts that try to parse the output of make and
would be

The goal of colormake is to add side effects to the make command (add colors to
the output).
Some scripts use make and may be very broken if the output of make contains
colors added to the normal output.
Replacing make by colormake will have desastrous (and hard to debug)
side effects.
If you
By replacing, I meant taking the steps necessary so the output of
make shown to the user is colorised. That is exactly what your
suggestion does. It seems to me a pointless step to force users to
figure out how to do this additional step (properly!), when there is a
package management system that

I definitely agree with you Manu. colormake should be automatically
used after its installation (same for colorgcc and colordiff).
I'm wondering what's the good way to do that. Using alternatives or
something?

Thanks for your suggestion. The changes you are requesting require more

What needs to be discussed? If you install colorgcc is because you want
coloured gcc. The same for colormake. I don't know who is going to want
to discuss this.
On the other hand, I don't have the time right now to provide a patch
for this, I was hoping that being an open wish, someone may decide
