Re: [Ltib] LTIB Shell disables colors

Thanks Stuart,

I have no idea how color works in Linux at all and I don't have the time to 
look at it either. I thought someone here might already know the answer.

It's not important enough to worry about.

Hi Douglas,

I'm not sure where it's getting dropped.  gcc in particular goes via a
perl wrapper, so it could be there.  The best thing would be to try to
drop back to getting colour output from ltib, then from a .spec file and
so on and chase it down that way.  Unfortunately I have not time to look
at this at the moment.

Regards, Stuart
