What I was originally suggesting is that I think there is literally thousands, to tens of thousands of people that would appreciate it if the automake output could be configurable when they do, ./configure && make.
This may be true, but if an option is provided to reduce output, the default should be fully verbose as things are now. Furthermore, it is useful if the option is supplied via a make parameter rather than a configure option since otherwise it is necessary to reconfigure the entire package in order to diagnose a build issue.
I would be happy with make VERBOSE=quiet or somesuch. Bob ====================================== Bob Friesenhahn [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ GraphicsMagick Maintainer, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/
