Silent compilation

[Steffen Boerm]

Hi.

Is it possible to reduce the amount of information printed by
the Makefiles when compiling or linking?

Simply using the ".SILENT: ..." pseudo-target goes a little too
far, I would prefer something similar to the behaviour of the
Linux kernel Makefiles, e.g., printing only the line

  Compiling foo.c

when foo.c is compiled.

Is there a portable way of doing this?

Best regards,
