A simple (and stupid) question: what''s the point of makefiles printing out all that wierd junk they do?

The only things the makefile prints is a message about entering and leaving directories. Everything else is the commands the makefile executes, such as the command lines passed to, and the output of, the compiler.

Yeah, most of the printed stuff are the commands being executed and the compiler output. It''s a good thing (TM), so that you know what the computer is doing... Sorta.

if it really bothers you stick a @ before each command in the makefile so it doesn''t print the command.
