Pass-thru of ANSI color codes for compilation warnings/errors was recently added to mach. If emacs users don't have ansi-mode turned on for compilation buffers, they'll now see raw ANSI codes, which makes reading errors difficult.
To turn on ansi-mode for compilation buffers, add the following code to your .emacs: (ignore-errors (require 'ansi-color) (defun my-colorize-compilation-buffer () (when (eq major-mode 'compilation-mode) (ansi-color-apply-on-region compilation-filter-start (point-max)))) (add-hook 'compilation-filter-hook 'my-colorize-compilation-buffer)) (Code taken from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13397737/ansi-coloring-in-compilation-mode ) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
