Hi today i was happy to find your solution for colorizing terminal output for different tools. I'm working on ubuntu 16 and have to following problem after executing your instructions from the tutorial

When i call make inside the terminal nothing happens. I see only the cursor is blinking. The symlink seems to work. Here is mine configuration: Link to: /usr/local/bin/outproc Links: /home/username/.local/bin/make

Hope u can help me.

Best regards frruit

I'll try :) what exactly Ubuntu do you have? 16.04 (xenial) or 16.10 (yakkety) ? I'll use the corresponding docker container to check it on my spare time...

Thanks for the report, I've been able to reproduce it... That is not really a bug, but a lack of feature. (and little bit messy in the README %)

Nowadays outproc is looking for the enabled modules in the <install-prefix>/lib/outproc/bin/. This path must be a leading in your PATH to effectively override wrapped binaries. According to your description, you don't have it, instead, your symlink(s) is in the ~/.local/bin/. So, outproc do not recognize it as itself module and do the fork... Actually, it'll be easy to make it possible to have modules symlinks in arbitrary locations (I'll do it soon).

For now, it would help to you to install symlinks to <install-prefix>/lib/outproc/bin/ and make it a leading path in your PATH.
