Capture makefile errors in shell script
Hi,
I have a bash script which calls a few "make". I would like to know whether the makefile failed with any errors. How do I do that in the script?

Thanks,
S

Code:
make > log 2>&1
if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]; then
   echo "Build failed"
   cat log
fi

The above explained if you're new, "Run make and redirect both the errors and the standard output to 'log'. If the exit status of make '$?' is not equal to 0 ( -ne 0 where exit status 0 means it ran successfully) then say "Build failed" and show log file. Not that you needed it but someone else reading it may. :-)
