Hi Alan!

07 Feb 09 09:37, you were saying to Gert Koefoed Andersen:

 AI> Yep, first I do make all. I always try make install as a regular user
 AI> and if it fails I run it with su.

 GKA>> You can for a makeinstall.err file use the command with :
 AI>  make >> /filename and make install > filename

 AI> That's what I need. I just need to redirect stderr along with stdout
 AI> and I forget how to do that. Something to do with $2.

The commands above will not work, the redirection from the second command
is telling the system to truncate the file to overwrite ( > ) the file
instead of appending ( >> ) to it. Try this ( 2> ) for redirecting
stderr only:

  make 2> stderr.log

Or this for redirecting both stdout and stderr (which is what you want):

  make &> stds.log

If, after this, you want to _append_ to those files, use the >>
operator like this:

  make install 2>> stderr.log

  make install &>> stds.log

I don't recall ever using the above syntax but, as far as I remember, it
should work allright.


Hope this helps,
Sergi
