John, My goal is to have a "nicer" verbose output.
Currently, if I have a Makefile with: CC = gcc CFLAGS = -DWHATEVER foo.o: foo.c $(Q)$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< Then, when I call make with "Q=@", I will get just the output from the compile, and when I call make with "Q=", I will get the output gcc -DWHATEVER -c foo.c printed before the compiler output. I want a way to have the verbose mode show me this instead: CC = gcc CFLAGS = -DWHATEVER $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< before the compiler output (I'm not sure how I want to see $< handled). That way, if I were to compare two such outputs from make with hundreds of such compiles and where all I changed was the value of CFLAGS, I would see just one line of difference. Does that explain things better?
