Guide:

- Open your Makefile with a text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++.

Search for:

$(OBJDIR)/%.o: %.cpp

Your code should look like this:

 

Change

@echo compile $<

with

@echo -e "\033[0;32m [OK] \033[0m       \033[0;33m Compiling:\033[0m" $<

It should look like this:

Now, do the same for

$(OBJDIR)/version.o: version.cpp

and

$(OBJDIR)/minilzo.o: minilzo.c

in game's Makefile.

You can do the same thing for database's Makefile.
