Hi Dominic, This is an automake question. Please remove the autoconf list from followups. Thank you.

If you use libtool, `make -s LIBTOOLFLAGS=--silent'. Another very good way is `make >/dev/null'. Another very convenient way is to trigger the build from your favorite editor, which likely has the capability to hilghlight the build warnings/errors for you and point you to the corresponding source as well -- that way you won't have to bother about the verbose output. This question has been discussed before numerous times. People have demanded kernel-like output several times, some patches have been presented, but rejected or ignored for several reasons. I don't want to state them again, but it may be useful to add some documentation about the way to go with Automake. > P.S. can you CC me any replies? Sure. Cheers, Ralf
