RE: Pipe "make" stdout and stderr to process?


That did it, thanks.  I didn't notice an example of this in the Bash man

David,

It's somewhat counterintuitive by comparison to the ordering required in 
the absence of a pipe, but you have to merge stderr (2) into stdout (1) 
before the pipe symbol:

         make 2>&1 |filterprog
