I'd like for my makefile output to be color-coded.
But I can't get the ANSI color codes to work on this terminal. It should be possible though, ls --color
gives me colorful output, and my shell prompt is also colored:
$ echo $PS1
\[\033]0;$MSYSTEM:\w\007 \033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] $
I suspect maybe the first section puts the terminal in a special mode so that it will accept color codes. Can somebody explain?
