It seems it's become really cool since new automake versions to hide the actual build command and just show:
CC file LD file Problem is that you can't see the CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and basically have no view on what's really going on. I noticed that more and more projects are adding/enabling this kind of "silent builds". Whenever you encounter these kind of builds, please fix it by either adding: CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --disable-silent-rules if you're dealing with a gnu configure script, or it's it's a homegrown build system you can often get away with: MAKE_ENV += VERBOSE_BUILD=1 or removing a '@' in front of the 'CC' lines in their Makefiles. -- Cheers, Jasper "Capable, generous men do not create victims, they nurture them."
