Hi developers, the current setup when doing a make (even a make -s) is very noisy, and makes it very easy to miss warnings from gcc. I would like to add a --slient option to libtool. How do the rest of you feel about that? /Niels -- Niels Baggesen - @home - ?rhus - Denmark - nba@users.sourceforge.net The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers --- R W Hamming

The number of warnings shown after compiling with -pedantic and some other additional checks is usually so large, that they don't fit in the scrollback buffer anyway.

What I like in recent linux kernel build is the clean msg output, ie: CC driver-name ... Thus filtering all these unneeded compilation info. Though I've no clue on how to do that.
