Dear Mike Frysinger,
In message 200908270409.16115.vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:
you mean quiet build like you see with Linux/busybox/uClibc/etc..., u-boot doesnt support it. Wolfgang rejected the idea.
That's not correct. I did not reject the _idea_.
I just rejected the implementation. I think it is fundamentally wrong and broken to implement this feature which seems to be high valued in many projects again and again and again in each and every project's Makefile code.
Instead, it should be implemented once where it actually belongs: in the make tool itself, so that _all_ projects can benefit from it without adding complexity and increased build times to their Makefiles.
But like in so many cases people rather copy & paste code around without actually thinking.
there is silent build like anything else ... use make's -s flag
...or run "./MAKEALL <name>" which has the added benefit of keeping full log files in the LOG/ directory in case anything should go wrong.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
