Is there a way to introduce syntax highlighting to gcc/g++'s output?

Question

Is there a way to introduce syntax highlighting to the output I get when I am compiling a program with either gcc or g++. Currently its all one colour. I want the colour to change depending on the output.

Answer 1

That has been done as a Perl script colorgcc.

For further discussion:

• Improving g++ output
• g++, colorgcc and ccache
