That works a treat, thanks.
In both cases, it's worth contacting upstream to tell them about the
harmfulness of silent make rules
Well, I am upstream :)
Your decision, your poison - Feel encouraged to change your decision :)
When I'm developing software it's a lot easier
to spot warnings when they're not buried in pages and pages of debug
output. That said, I agree we need the full logs when building
packages. I'll fix up all my packages to do --disable-silent-rules
when I next bump their versions.
Well, I am very opposed to silent makerules.
All silent-makerules are doing is to span a hidden mine-field of bugs to
trap users into.
E.g. are you sure your include paths and the defines your packages are
using are correct? With silent makerules, you and your users won't
notice them being wrong - building only appears to be working, while you
package actually is totally misconfigured.
It's guaranteed such situation will happen, it only a matter of time.
