RE: Makefile Verbosity

[Matt.Vandewerken]

Pipe it through a script? There's a couple of generic scripts to do this 
(including ones that colourise the output on an ANSI terminal); this 
http://kim.tensta.gannert.se/projects/pretty-am/ might be a starting point.

Cheers,

Subject: Makefile Verbosity

Hi,

I would like to know the options to control the verbosity of a Makefile. For 
example: I am writing a build system which has hundreds of files. Sometimes, it 
becomes an issue to see a huge print log.
Sometimes I do not want output on shell. Can I do something?

1) I saw the make manual, but make ---debug=b does not suit my purpose.
2) The other option that I have is to take a variable from command line. For 
example : V=0/1 and then if V=0, I prepend a '@' in front of every rule. 
However, I have some rules in a central location, but others are all over the 
system. And this does not sound very neat.

Any ideas? OR What is the standard procedure?

Regards,
Ajay.
