Hi, I tried to pass the --silent flag to libtool via AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS, LIBTOOLFLAGS and LIBRARY_LIBTOOLFLAGS but my flags don't get passed to libtool in the install and uninstall targets.
At the first instance I've (apparently) solved my problem by placing the following substitution in configure.ac: LIBTOOL="$LIBTOOL --silent" As far as I know this seems not a good idea (the user should be free to pass his own flags) so i reverted the solution and, while investigating the problem, i found that some automake targets (namely install-*LTLIBRARIES and uninstall-*LTLIBRARIES) don't pass the LIBTOOLFLAGS variable to libtool. The following patch fixes my problem but i don't know if this is a *bad* idea ... BTW: I'm using automake-1.10.
