I just spent an hour trying to find out why the latest wmaker-crm was
ignoring a number of the preferences in my configuration file. It turns
out the problem was that commit f41db5 added a value into the middle of
the enum in src/keybind.h, and the setting of
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = no-dependencies in all the Makefile.ams meant that
make wasn't smart enough to rebuild the files depending on it.
Would anyone mind if we just remove no-dependencies from
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS? People can still run ./configure with
--disable-dependency-tracking to disable it at configure time.
Instead of using the --disable-verbose-compile hack, let's
use the standard option --enable-silent-rules (or 'make V=0' directly)
available with autoconf 1.11 and higher.
This is enabled in autoconf by using 'silent-rules' in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
The verbosity of compilation is reduced in a similar manner as using
the --disable-verbose-compile option, so we can remove all that ugly
hackery.
This patch adds the --disable-verbose-compile switch to the
configure script.
When this option is used it reduces the verbosity of compilation
messages to the essential. However compiler warnings are not affected
and thus gain visibility by not standing in the middle of a storm
of other messages.
In summary, the compilation messages are reduced to a stream of
CC array.o
CC bagtree.o
CC configuration.o
CC connection.o
CC data.o
[...]
instead of a mind-boggling flux of
