Thanks - that (colormake) is a nice script.

I used it to build gnustep-base as follows:

<download and unpack colormake>
  cd /home/nicola
  wget http://bre.klaki.net/programs/colormake/colormake-0.2.tar.gz
  tar xfvz colormake-0.2.tar.gz

<add it to the PATH>  
  export PATH=$PATH:/home/nicola/colormake

<use it to compile gnustep-base>
  cd devmodules/core/base
  cmake

So, all you need to do is then use 'cmake' instead of 'make' and all should 
work :-)
That works for me ... and I like it :-)

... even if I find the gray on white hard to read so probably won't use it much
in practice :-/

Thanks
