Hi Tom: I have noticed this "over verbose" issue for Ada as well. The problem is that general language support under CMake is very poorly documented. So when I wrote the Ada language support for CMake years ago I blindly copied some stuff from the official C language support files at that time which I did not understand, and I likely left out something that would help support non-verbose output. Since then, cmake has implemented more powerful language support capabilities, and the official language support files (e.g, the ones supporting C) have been radically changed as a result. So probably the correct thing to do here to deal with this bug is to lightly modify the current C language support files for the Ada case rather than attempting to update the current Ada language support files which are based on really old C language support files. Unfortunately, I don't have time for such an effort at the moment so for now I think we will just have to live with this "over verbose" bug unless you want to have a go yourself at lightly modifying the current C language support files for the Ada case following the one piece of documentation for CMake language support, cmake-2.8.12.2/Modules/CMakeAddNewLanguage.txt.
