(I really hate having to hunt around for the magic option to enable verbose output if I want to know how a program is compiled...) Also, if you want "silent" builds, you should use make -s instead. That is much less chatty than (IMHO) useless "CC foo", "LD bar" messages. In any case, if anything like this is implemented, I would really prefer something like CMake does, e.g. give you a percentage counter that provides some information about how 'far' the build is progressing. -Dimitry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.22 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAlKvcjoACgkQsF6jCi4glqPdWgCePKqwdykbNVu3r3xDl2HnU/yA oI0AoP41X1yttDfY138gOvFBeJ2DNlgB =6iKl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
