WATCHING MAKE

When compiling software, 
don't just type 'make' 
and let run!  You will 
never be able to catch 
your errors!

Do 'make > Make.Out &' 
and then do 

'tail -f Make.Out'. 

That will continuously show 
you the end of your Make.Out 
file, giving you the chance 
to go "Hey, what was that?!?", 
hit ^C, grep Make.Out, and not 
interrupt your compile.
