I've found the actual command line useful when trying to debug some build problems (e.g., if I'm trying to figure out whether some configure script/Makefile.am change is passing the right arguments), but that happens rarely enough that, as long as it can be overridden, the quieter rules would probably make it *easier* to find the sort of build problems that *typically* occur (because error and warning messages stand out more if the actual build lines are short). ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
