When you compile your code using make
it can throw output that can run many lines. Piping this output directly to a pager like less
does not work. This is because make is writing its output to the stderr
stream. To get it into less
this needs to be redirected to the stdout
stream. That can be done like this:
[code lang=bash] $ make 2>&1 | less ```
