Thanks for the pointers, I'll try that... is there any logic/rational behind the developers choosing red for linking?? I would think that red should be reserved for errors... and doubly strange that errors are reported in black...<div>
<br></div><div>should this be submitted as a "bug report"/feature request?</div><div><br></div><div>-=Abe<br><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Sep 4, 2010 at 9:17 AM, David Cole <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david.cole@kitware.com">david.cole@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div></div>As Eric has pointed out in the meantime, those colors are hardcoded<br>
in the CMake code base, but - if on *nix - look at the following:<br>
<br>
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(red2yellow ALL<br>
COMMAND find ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} -name build.make<br>
-exec perl -pi -e "s/--red/--yellow/" "{}" "\;")<br>
<br>
Placed in the top-level CMakeLists.txt, this custom target tweakes the<br>
concerned Makefiles to present the linking message in a beautiful but<br>
unreadable yellow. ;) If it doesn't luckily execute as the very first<br>
target, you could resort to CMake's ordinary dependency mechanism.<br>
<br>
Yours colorfully,<br>
