Part of my makefile has the following code:
target.o:
cd dir; $(MAKE)
Where the file target.o
has its own makefile inside of directory dir
. During compiling, I get the following output lines:
make[1]: Entering directory `dir'
ifort -c target.f -o target.o
make[1]: Leaving directory `dir'
I would like to silent the first and third output lines but keep the second. Adding the -s to the make in the main makefile eliminates the first and third but also the one I want to keep.
(1) Is there a way to do this?
(2) Is there a reason why doing this might not be such a good idea?
You want
$(MAKE) --no-print-directory
.You cannot silence only part of a command. The
@
prefix is all-or-nothing.You can echo anything you want of course (this is how the autotools silent output works for example, silence the default make output and then output
GEN target.file
or whatever).
