Does anyone have such a script or know how to write one? This should be doable with a script written in Shell, Perl 5, Python, Ruby, etc. by inspecting the status exit code of the command. E.g: in Bash: if ! ./configure $PARAMS > configure.log 2>&1 ; then echo "Configure command failed" exit -1 fi (Untested!) There may be a ready made solution, but writing something quick yourself would probably be less time consuming.
