Hi list,
I wrote a small patch to get some useful output on 'make plugins', maybe some like it too. Here's what it does:
- At the end of 'make plugins', output a list of all plugins that failed to compile (if any)
- Write plugin name to output before starting to 'make' it
If you compile lots of plugins, its quite hard to spot which plugins didn't 'make' it. With the patch, you'll get a list of all failed compiles at the end, so you don't have to carefully check all output.
The second change is especially useful if you use 'make -s plugins' to reduce the overall output noise, because with -s you never know exactly what plugin currently compiles in case of errors or warnings.
Cheers,
Udo
