Those boring never-ending builds... Can some dualCPU power be spent, if building is interactive (i.e. sent to terminal), to have them a bit colored? My last rant about "colored printk()" led away from kernel developers and their solutions. But now, let me share something. (maybe some terminal emulators have more colors, finally?) usage: olecom@flower:/tmp/blinux$ stty -tostop ; mkfifo stdout.pipe stderr.pipe olecom@flower:/tmp/blinux$ sh ./colorize-linux-build.sh <stdout.pipe & [1] 22070 olecom@flower:/tmp/blinux$ COLORIZERR=y sh colorize-linux-build.sh <stderr.pipe & [2] 22145 olecom@flower:/tmp/blinux$ olecom@flower:/tmp/blinux$ LANG=C make >stdout.pipe 2>stderr.pipe make -C /mnt/zdev0/linux-2.6 O=/dev/shm/blinux/.
