Hi - When I do a "make", all its output is displayed on the screen...and there is one part where it calculates and dispalys the size of the firmware...
Is it possible to include a command in the makefile that captures that line of the make output? I would like to save the firmware file size to a size.out file.
Please help!
thanks!
just redirect output to file - and then grep file in some way

except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

You'll probably also want to capture the output of stderr. (GCC errors and warnings, for example, are printed on stderr.)
Or perhaps something like this . . .Code:make >make.out 2>&1
(That saves every line in the make output that contains the word "firmware".)Code:make 2>&1 | grep firmware > size.out
Or, if you want to see the output on the screen as well as save it:
The possibilities are endless . . .Code:make 2>&1 | tee make.out
[edit] BTW: as this isn't really a C programming question, next time post it in the Tech Board. [/edit]

If you want to have a lot of output from make, use the -d switch
like
KurtCode:make -d
