Thanks! Ah, I read that document and even that FAQ, but completely missed that as I was looking for something relating to verbosity, not logging which implies (at least to me) that a log will be stored on disk. I still think it should be a configure option, which is the first place I looked. It seems there's still a need to make some options available via configure which are currently only available to make. > Cheers, > Omair > > [1] > http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#faq > > -- > PGP Key: 66484681 (http://pgp.mit.edu/) > Fingerprint = F072 555B 0A17 3957 4E95 0056 F286 F14F 6648 4681 > -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
