The problem is catching the developer's attention, when some compilation produces tons of output. The use of automake's options 'silent-rules' and 'color-tests' are steps in this direction. The trick that I use is a script that shows me the differences between the last run and the current run of a command. So, in my working directories, I normally don't run "./configure" and "make" any more, but "./rerun-configure" and "./rerun-make", which are tiny scripts: ===================== rerun-configure ======================== #!/bin/sh rerun ./configure --prefix=/arch/x86-linux/gnu CPPFLAGS=-Wall --disable-shared --enable-static ============================================================== ====================== rerun-make =========================== #!/bin/sh rerun make ============================================================= Enabling -Werror would only help for "make"'s output, not for "configure"'s output.
