Question

I want write simple “help” options to my makefile,but the problem is
for example;

all: 
   echo "help options.." 

when I call make on terminal,it print:

echo "help options.."
help options..

it’s possible print only?:

help options..

I hope this is clear for you.

Answer 1

Prefix the command by ‘@’, as in:

target:
    @echo "help options.."

GNU Make has a very good manual which explains this.
