Of course we can have that - if somebody submits patches for it. But please note that I think that the Linux implementation sucks, and ditto for all other projects that copied this method. I think it is fundamentally wrong to implement such a feature (let's call it "terse make output") in the Makefiles of many projects, using a lot of trickery and magic. If a specific verbosity of make output is needed, this should most naturally be implemented as a feature in make itself - we already have make options like "-d" (for very verbose output) or "-s" (for silent mode), so why not add a new verbosity level which produces exactly the short output format you want? So yes, patches are welcome, but these should go directly to the make mailing lists / patch system, see http://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=make Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: w...@denx.de Anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well. -- Philip Earl of Chesterfield _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
