[Resurrecting an old thread] Reference: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8665>
Hi Jack, automakers, sorry for the shameful delay. This patch series (for maint) should take care of the "easy" part of the bug, i.e., define a make variable that can be used from within the make recipes to determine whether make is being run in verbose mode (as with "make V=1") or quiet mode (as with "make V=0"). I will push by tomorrow if there is no objection. Regards, Stefano Stefano Lattarini (3): refactor: &define_verbose_var: accept a third optional argument refactor: silent rules handling (a little) silent: new $(AM_V_P) variable, tell if we're running in silent mode NEWS | 6 +++ automake.in | 46 ++++++++++++----- doc/automake.texi | 18 ++++++- t/list-of-tests.mk | 1 + t/silent-obsolescent-warns.sh | 71 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ t/silent6.sh | 110 +++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 6 files changed, 180 insertions(+), 72 deletions(-) create mode 100755 t/silent-obsolescent-warns.sh -- 1.7.9.5
