Yepper. Leo is right. Most of output produced by make is such a bore. I'm standing for doing these actions as default, namely: 1) we output "Supplying the following c compiler flags: -Zi -DDEBUGGING-nologo ..." once at the begining 2) ouput "Building the classes ..." once and a name of each class as it being maked. 3) then "Linking the libraries: comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ...." 4) and finally "Building documentation" And echoing the whole thingy as the case of the --detailed switch being passed. It wouldn't be worth anything to type the only switch for who really wants the full output.
