I proposed to adopt the linux/git/automake convention of using silent
rules so that you get something like
make
CC lily/foo.c
..
LB Documentation/web.texi
LB Documentation/notation.texi
or what you currently get when doing: make V=1 .
That's what everyone understands. If you want silence and logging, why
not just do something like
nohup make &
or
make >& mybuild.log
[optionally using tail -f, grep and sed -- or those rolled together in a
nice python script -- to get info on progress]
It almost seems to me someone is trying to hammer two different concepts
into one system Not only is that very non-unixy, it also seems this
is a very lilypond-specific adaptation of the build system, which makes
me suspicious.
Greetings,
Jan.
