You could always use nohup. This will create an output file called
nohup.out.

# nohup ./cons --release &

& runs the compile in the background
then run a tail on the nohup.out file

# tail -f nohup.out

What would I need to do in this instance ?

I am using the latest source code.

Please advise.

Mark.

../cons --release > logfile.txt

The > writes what you see to a file called logfile.txt

You'd have to edit the source code to fix it. I took a quick look and it
appears it is depreciated (it should work, with warnings-which you got).

Try using the script program. This program captures all stdin, stdout and
stderr and redirects them to a file. You session would look like this:

$ script build_log
$ cd ~/wolf-sdk/MP/src/unix/
$ ./cons --release

.....

$ exit

The file `build_log' now contains a copy of everything you entered on
stdin as well as everything that output to either stdout or stderr.

I'm not usually pedantic, but sometimes I can't hold it back...
