Description of problem: With colorgcc on fedora, the script is named color-gcc, however on Debian it is named colorgcc. This makes sharing makefiles between fedora and Debian a bit tricky. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version : 1.3.2 Release : 7.fc20 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a script / makefile that compiles using color-gcc on fedora 2. Copy created script to Debian 3. Run the script / makefile on Debian Actual results: Script / makefile will fail with "color-gcc not found". Expected results: Script / makefile runs without issues. Additional info: It is easy to fix this: Add a additional symlink sudo ln -s /usr/bin/color-gcc /usr/bin/colorgcc and adding the following line to color-gcc after line 96: $compilerPaths{"colorgcc"} = "gcc";
That is doable and shouldn't break anything. Would [1] work for you? By the way, gcc-4.8.2-7.fc20 apparently has similar output colorizing feature already built in and turned on by default. -------------- [1] http://mcermak.fedorapeople.org/scratchbuild/colorgcc-1.3.2-11.fc21.noarch.rpm
- removed colorgcc - deleted manually created symlink - installed linked colorgcc-1.3.2-11.fc21.noarch.rpm from Comment 1 Works fine for me. The reason I'm using colorgcc is because gcc 4.8.2-16 in Debian testing (jessie) does not seem to support the -fdiagnostics-color option (I'm assuming this is coloring option you were referring to?).
