Description Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2009-06-11 20:40:08 UTC

automake1.11 has a feature that do the same as shave do. (turns the usual messy output of autotools into a pretty Kbuild-like one)

The default build behavior is "same as previous" (i.e., verbose), but now user
can choose quiet by "./configure --enable-silent-rules" or "make V=0".
Alternately, AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]) makes quiet the default (same default as
shave), and user can "./configure --disable-silent-rules" or "make V=1" to
override.

A hard dependency on automake 1.11 is not necessary. Only add

m4_ifdef([AM_SILENT_RULES],[AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])])

to your configure.ac and should work and still be compatible with earlier automake versions.

Also, automake1.11 has already been added to gnome-autogen.sh
