Is there a way to stop terminal from clearing my program's output?

Question

Hi, I am trying to compile a library and I get errors. I cannot see the complete output because the terminal automatically clears the output and shows only the last few lines/ pages. I am able to redirect to a txt file and see the complete output. But is there a way to see the whole output on my terminal??

Answer 1

What shell emulator are you using as a terminal? Any good shell emulator should have options that allow you to set how much output is buffered and retained - you probably just need to bump the number up.
