Is it possible to configure GNU make to only show error. make --no-print-directory suppresses all the Entering/Leaving messages. similarly I don’t want to see “make[4]: Nothing to be done for install.“. Just the build error.

thanks.

    make -s won’t print any of the commands (as if every command was prefixed by @). If the commands themselves are printing output, try redirecting standard output away but keeping standard error.

    make -s >/dev/null
    

    However my recommendation would be to let all the output through, because it can be very useful to figure out what’s going on. Use a tool such as colormake to make it more readable.
