In this guide, we will explore how to modify your Makefile to include colored output, making it more user-friendly and visually appealing. By following these steps, you will improve the readability of your compilation process.

Steps to Add Color to Your Makefile

1. Open Your Makefile

Begin by launching your Makefile in a code editor such as Sublime Text or Notepad++.

2. Locate the Following Line:

Search for the line in your Makefile that looks like this:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

3. Update the Compilation Echo Command

Replace the existing line:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

With the following updated command to incorporate color:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

This change modifies the output to display a green "[OK]" message alongside a yellow "Compiling" statement, enhancing visibility during the build process.

4. Repeat for Additional Lines

Next, you will need to make similar modifications for the following lines:

1. For the line:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Update it in the same manner as before:

• This is the hidden content, please

  • Sign In
  • or
  • Sign Up

   

• Also apply these changes for:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Change it to:

2. This is the hidden content, please

   • Sign In
   • or

By implementing these adjustments, your Makefile will now output colored messages during compilation, making it easier to track progress and identify issues. This small enhancement can significantly improve the developer experience when building projects.
