Date: 2010mar4 OS: Linux Level: beginner Q. Linux: How do I capture the output of a make command? A. Do this:

make 2>log 1>&2

The output will be in file log. This captures both stdout and stderr. Stdout will say what's being compiled. More detail: This says put file 2 (stderr) into file "log" and put file 1 (stdout) in the same place as file 2 (stderr).
