The problem with the timestamp is that it also creates over 1 million lines of log. Thus, there will be no improvement compared to the original log. The trick with the dots is that they are printed on ONE line (using the "tr" command).PrzemoF wrote: ↑Mon Dec 03, 2018 10:04 pm Edit: I used time stamp - if that fails I'll got for dots or a time stamp once in a while

Further I suggest to add the "-a" flag to the "tee" command since it avoids that the build_output.txt file of one command gets overwritten by the next command.
However, the latest failure was not related to too long logs or to too silent output. CMake could not find OCC. I'm also using Homebrew as package manager on my Mac, but I could compile FreeCAD today. So, I don't really know, what happens on the Travis machine.
