It's not that -s is handled differently at different recursion levels. It's that -s does not automatically disable the directory entry/exit statements. That's why you need to also include the --no-print-directory flag (which does disable the directory entry/exit statements). The directory entry/exit statements are not printed at the top-most level of make, because it's assumed that you know what directory you were in and what makefile you were using when you typed "make" and so everything that happens in that directory doesn't need further commentary. Once make invokes a sub-make, however, the output you see is possibly from a different makefile and/or directory, so make prints the enter/exit statements around those commands so you know that. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
