Answer 1

I have came to this questions searching for a solution to colorize make output and then remembered a while back I have researched a good generic log colorizer and found ccze. It works with anything I throw at it from Minecraft server logs to Exim MTA.

make | ccze -A

NOTE: specifying -A option enables 'raw-ansi' otherwise some output is 'cleared' at end of run in my experience.
