Description Robin Stocker 2009-08-02 20:03:21 UTC 
With Automake 1.11, there's an option to enable a less verbose, kernel-like build output. How about enabling it by default? One can always disable it with --disable-silent-rules or make V=1.

Here's the trivial patch to configure.in.

Here's an example of the silent build output. It's much cleaner and makes warnings and errors stand out.
Comment 3 Robin Stocker 2009-08-02 20:08:18 UTC 
Another note: When an older version of Automake is used, the option is just ignored.
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2009-08-03 08:55:07 UTC 
I think you also need to sprinkle a few $(AM_V_GEN) around, e.g. when generating the marshalers, etc.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2009-08-03 09:07:15 UTC 
Any reasons not to do this in gnome-common instead?

See bug #580062 and bug #582955, which are both related.
