While building "make check", I saw this scroll by (too quickly to see what it was), but it was different enough from the rest that... CCLD libvirt.la CCLD libvirt_test.la make check-local make[3]: Entering directory `/home/j/w/co/libvirt/src' if test -x '/usr/bin/augparse'; then \ '/usr/bin/augparse' -I ./qemu \ ./qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug; \ fi if test -x '/usr/bin/augparse'; then \ '/usr/bin/augparse' -I ./lxc \ ./lxc/test_libvirtd_lxc.aug; \ fi CC libvirtd-event.o CC libvirtd-libvirtd.o I scrolled back to investigate. Not a problem, but let's eliminate the distraction. Here's a patch. With it, instead of the above "if test..." lines, you'll see this single line: GEN augeas-check From: Jim Meyering <meyering(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 09:39:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] build: suppress distracting build output * src/Makefile.am (augeas-check): New target, just to give the existing rule a name. At the same time, prefix the commands with $(AM_V_GEN), to avoid unexpected build output with V=0 which is the default. --- src/Makefile.am | 9 ++++++--- 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am index 0aa3443..5f6b325 100644 --- a/src/Makefile.am +++ b/src/Makefile.am @@ -766,15 +766,18 @@ EXTRA_DIST += \ $(SECRET_DRIVER_SOURCES) \ $(VBOX_DRIVER_EXTRA_DIST) -check-local: +check-local: augeas-check + +.PHONY: augeas-check +augeas-check: if WITH_QEMU - if test -x '$(AUGPARSE)'; then \ + $(AM_V_GEN)if test -x '$(AUGPARSE)'; then \ '$(AUGPARSE)' -I $(srcdir)/qemu \ $(srcdir)/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug; \ fi endif if WITH_LXC - if test -x '$(AUGPARSE)'; then \ + $(AM_V_GEN)if test -x '$(AUGPARSE)'; then \ '$(AUGPARSE)' -I $(srcdir)/lxc \ $(srcdir)/lxc/test_libvirtd_lxc.aug; \ fi -- 1.7.0.3.435.g097f4
