Here, most either use make from vim/emacs and use $EDITOR as error message parser or use make -s because without -s in recursive make and/or bigger projects error messages and warnings are hard to see in thousand lines of console output. > Silent building is only appropriate when a user knows what he is doing and > when explicitly asking of it. typing "make -s" is explicitly asking, isn't it? > When getting used to doing so rsp. when making > silent make-rules the default, packages tend to gradually rott, because bugs > tend to slip through unnoticed. I think he asked that make -s install should be less verbose that it is now (now, the instlall command lines show up). oki, Steffen
