Question

I have a simple Makefile:

default:
    @make build
    @make run

build:
    @javac Test.java > /dev/null

run:
    @java Test

During compilation, make outputs:

make[1]: Entering directory `<current directory'>
...
make[1]: Leaving directory `<current directory'>

I need make to build without printing these messages. Does anybody know what the problem or how to suppress these messages?

Thanks

edit: this happens regardless of the code. e.g. it happens with:

class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("HELLO WORLD");
    }
}

Change make to make -s:

default:
    @make -s build
    @make -s run

Better still:

default:
    @$(MAKE) -s build
    @$(MAKE) -s run

Even better:

default: run

build:
    @javac Test.java > /dev/null

run: build
    @java Test
