Hello, I am updating to automake 1.5 when I noticed what is printed to screen from 'make' has changed. I previously would run 'make' with the '-s' flag so that not every step in the compilation was printed to screen. Simply using '-s' reduced what was printed to screen down to only the "Making all in ..." and the actual compiler invocation "c++ppc ...". With automake 1.5, using '-s' eliminates printing of the compiler invocation (this is bad for me). When I don't use '-s' I get a bunch of extraneous information that makes it hard to read and follow, especially when trying to figure out the path to the file that was compiled (the `test -f xxx || echo 'xxx'` stuff).
It appears the source of the rules in question (for .cpp.o) is depend2.am. It looks like the compiler line is no longer being echoed, which explains why the '-s' flag eliminates it all together. I hacked depend2.am to get the output I wanted. Is there any other way to do this via automake flags or otherwise (i.e. a project specific depend2.am)? If not, could automake's depend2.am be modified to produce the more readable output of version 1.4?
