I agree with you, the name was a bad choice. It should be something like --disable-compilation-noise or something like that. But yesterday was my very first take on this. I had never looked at these kind of things before (configure and Makefiles), so for me it was a proof-of-concept test. It is not perfect yet, but as you can see in the compilation log here www.aei.mpg.de/~users/crmafra/compile_log.txt the noise has reduced a lot. But I don't see where the messages like gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../src -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -c LookupCmap.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/LookupCmap.o gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../src -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -c LookupCmap.c -o LookupCmap.o >/dev/null 2>&1 are coming from in the wrlib/Makefile, nor how I can avoid the messages from compilations with $(LIBTOOL) like this one /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o connect connect.o ../../WINGs/libWUtil.a -L/usr/local/lib Of course, if I modify the Makefile to have LINK = $(QUIET)$(LIBTOOL) --tag=CC [....] instead of LINK = $(LIBTOOL) --tag=CC [....] then the messages go away. But so far I haven't been able to redefine it from the Makefile.am I tried things like LINK = @QUIET@ $(LINK) or LINK = $(QUIET)$(LINK) in Makefile.am but with no success. Anyway, I will keep trying. I posted my attemps to the list with the hope somebody with experience would say "ah...you have to do this!", but I guess it is not that simple :-) -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
