Symbian’s ABLD build system tends to produce a lot of output, especially when run with the verbose flag (-v), as I like to do to see the compiler invocations. Also, ABLD likes to run to “completion” despite individual build steps failing. The end result is that it takes some effort to look for the errors and warnings in the output.
Some suggest scanning ABLD output in order to terminate the build on error or to highlight errors and warnings.
