[Request] colorgcc

I'm suprised there is no package for this. Or at least I couln't find it.

Moo-Crumpus · 2005-10-04 17:24:56

make one

pressh · 2005-10-04 19:43:52

do I miss the point? why should one use it?

Erm from what I can see this hasn't been updated for a while?

any particular reason you need colourgcc as not sure how compatibly it would be with recent versions

Snowman · 2005-10-05 06:53:39

It looks that it was working with the latest gcc3. I'll give it a try but it won't be before this week-end or much later.

I was kind of used to have the compiler output in color. You know, warnings in yellow, errors in red. Very easy to spot those things.

Okay, I'll see if I can make a working PKGBUILD for you

pressh · 2005-10-06 22:37:41

It was not that much of a problem, works fine with gcc4, didn't try other compilers.
Didn't quite knew what to do with those echo messages, well, at least it should now be clear what to do.

[edit]
This PKGBUILD assumes that /bin is located in your path variable (/etc/profile) BEFORE /usr/bin, as this is standard in Arch

pressh was quicker than me
Here's a few comments about the PKGBUILD:
- the echo statements should be in an .install file.
- colorgcc should go in /usr/bin and colorgccrc in /etc
- missing depends (perl)
- default colorgccrc could be patched to use AL paths instead of having the user change them. I assume that most users uses the official package or at least installs the gcc binaries to the same location.

I'll make these changes (plus some cosmetic changes) and post the corrected PKGBUILD & .install file.

Here's a few comments about the PKGBUILD:

I think there's a reason for a few of these - the reason it cannot go into the real directory is that the files are named the same thing - I think the symlinks are being set in /bin because thatg comes *first* in most $PATH variables...

that way, running "gcc" will run the wrapper version.

The way around it, of course, is to install to /opt or something and create a profile.d script which does:
export PATH=/opt/colored/:$PATH

and not:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/colored/

It is the wrapper colorgcc that should go in /usr/bin. The links can go in /bin or in another location as you explained. Here's my PKGBUILD below. I'll put it in AUR unless pressh or someone else is interested in maintaining it in AUR.

colorgcc.install:

post_install() {
  cat << EOF

It's your baby (Don't think collorgcc get's much upgraded though)

GogglesGuy · 2005-10-10 02:53:07

Thanks! I will try it tomorrow at work
