    Linux question.

    It is possible to copy the entire text content of a terminal window to the clipboard?

    Or is it possible to re-direct the output of the 'make' command to a text file?

    I want to check through the compiler warnings, but it's far too long to manually select the whole output.

      There is a command called "script". Use it, and everything that is echoed to the terminal is also put into a file called "typescript". That continues indefinitely until you exit with control-D.

      Standard output redirection should work as well. I don't know whether compiler warnings are directed to stdout or stderr but you could always redirect them both.

              "make 2&>errors" will redirect all make's output to 'errors'.
              takkaria whispers something about options. -more-

                  Got a "2 not recognized target". (Or similar) error message.

                  make >errors
                  redirect all the output _except_ the error messages. Anyway I got them copied in the end. No doubt it will get smoother with practise.

                      Different shells handle this differently (end knowledge).

                          On csh/tcsh, you need to use >&1 > make.out. (I don't know if it's possible to redirect stderr only.)

                          csh is pretty much obsolete anyway. Use bash. Then

                          make 2> errors will work. make 2>&1 > make.out redirects everything. This is usually what I use.
