Handling make errors

[Rani Pinchuk]

Dear all,

I am looking for a way to add sounds to different events while building.
Because I might build things in the background, it would be nice if make
"reports" to me when it finished or an error occurred.

It is very simple to add a sound when the built is successful - by
adding play command in the end of the building block.

But I could not find anywhere a way to handle make errors. I have looked
in the manual of Make and in the mailing list archive and could not find
how to do this. Obviously I can wrap make with whatever other
application to catch those errors, but I would imagine there is a way to
handle make errors within make. Any suggestions?

I am not a member in this list, so I will appreciate it if you cc the
reply to me. 

Thanks,

Rani
