Use alias mymake='make -s LIBTOOLFLAGS=--silent' (with Automake >= 1.10), or, most portably, make >/dev/null || make Apparently someone also made a Debian package out of his patches to make Automake silent. You can search the automake(-patches) lists for several past instances, if you're apt to hack Automake. > I know how to turn off the echoing of the underlying command from the > libtool wrapper (the --silent option).
