<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">'cmd.exe' does support color in a sense (see 'COLOR /?'), but not in a terribly useful way (in my opinion); more importantly, is doesn't support the escape sequences that are
necessary for cmake color support. One used to be able to do this on windows by loading ansi.sys, but that no longer works. However, if you're interested, there's a program called 'ansicon' that provides enough of an emulation of ansi.sys to support basic
color support (at least).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

that I'm missing something.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
