3508	bjam output in colours	mloskot <mateusz@…>	Vladimir Prus	"I think it would be very useful if bjam prints output to stdout in colours to help to distinguish at least information messages, warnings and errors.

CMake does provide coloured output out of the box. For GNU make and GCC there are http://bre.klaki.net/programs/colormake/ colormake] and [http://schlueters.de/colorgcc.html colorgcc].

All these tools help programmers to avoid ''nystagmus'' issues while analysing compiler output :-)

As a proof of concept, I attached [http://mateusz.loskot.net/?p=465 colorbb'' script a rough port of the colormake] to work with bjam + GCC toolset."	Feature Requests	new	Boost 1.47.0	build	Boost Development Trunk	Cosmetic		coloring, output, colormake, colorgcc	jan boehme@… flast@…
