Follow-up Comment #6, bug #59399 (project make): I would love to see gmake to avoid unneeded and confusing output.
I however see tons of messages like 'entering directory..' and similar. If you like to see these kind of messages, I would expect that people need to use a related option to enable them. For the typical usage, it is sufficient that a typical make implementation prints the current working together with error messages. BTW: If you like a separate makefile linter, you could already just call smake or SunPro Make to check whether a makefile contains non-portable constructs. But it seems that typical gmake users are not using other free make implementations to verify their makefiles. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59399> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
