Question

I have ;

 default :
           gcc -o function function.c

When I type make in terminal, following message is emitted

         user@user-laptop:~/Desktop$ make
         gcc -o function function.c 
         user@user-laptop:~/Desktop$  

But I want

         user@user-laptop:~/Desktop$ make
         user@user-laptop:~/Desktop$  

How can I do that?

You can find the documentation here: Recipe echoing. (Or you can invoke make with make -s to suppress all echoing.)
