Hi Josselin,

automake 1.11 introduced the concept of “silent rules”. The output looks
much nicer with them, however they are not suitable at all for building
packages, especially on buildds. It sometimes makes a build error much
harder to debug, simply because you can’t see the command lines that are
actually executed.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!


The fix is very simple: pass --disable-silent-rules to configure in
DEB_CONFIGURE_NORMAL_ARGS (in autotools-vars.mk).

Do all versions of automake available in Debian support that option?


Regards,
