Go to: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/error/Attic/error.h and you'll notice it was removed 11 months, 3 weeks ago. >Fix: Remove it from the Attic and reincorporate it in the FreeBSD distribution. Instead of invoking error this way: make foo | error -v This way makes it seem as though it doesn't detect any errors. One must redirect stderr thusly: make foo 2>&1 | error -v It works just fine and it is incredibly useful. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: From: Chris Faulhaber To: Ayan George Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: bin/23233: Reincorporate /usr/bin/error in the FreeBSD distribution.

However, he can give you a more definitive answer when he gets back from his trip. Please be patient, thanks. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=23233 State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: kris State-Changed-When: Mon Dec 27 19:40:00 GMT 2004 State-Changed-Why: I think it's fair to say I'm not interested in doing this :) If you still would like a version of error available to parse the errors from make(1), please resubmit it as a port, per the feedback from 4 years ago. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=23233 >Unformatted:
