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, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
