Dear all,
i've been thinking on this for a while but i can't seem to get my head
around how to solve this.
The task is simple: How can i display a custom error message if a target
fails to build for whatever reason?
- cmake ..
- make
- <build starts, stuff goes wrong, error out>
- below the (compile-tool dependent error output) i'd like to print
something like "Whoops it went wrong, type this and that or visit this
or that website for help"
i know this should ALSO be in the documentation, but you know how people
intuitively avoid reading those important parts :-)
any help/ideas are appreciated.
