[pclasses-devel] stupid build tree tricks...

[stephan b. <st...@s1...>]

One of those "silly waste of time" build features...

Try:

./configure --enable-ccdv [other args...]

That will wrap a small filter app around the default compiler/linker 
calls, such that the output it formatted to be "user friendly". The one 
disadvantage is that gcc's colored error messages lose their color 
through this filter (IIRC). i think it only works on ansi-capable 
terminals, but i'm not sure. Enabling it does not noticably change the 
build time (not even by 1 second on my box).

i was considering enabling this by default and using --disable-ccdv to 
turn it off (which already works). The intention is to make the build 
"friendlier" for dist clients, but allow us to see the whole 
compile/link args.

grep for 'ccdv' in configure.pclasses2 for where this is handled by 
configure.
