Thanks to the reminder from Dan Berrange,
here's a patch to make build output less verbose, by default.
E.g., instead of the redundant multi-line compilation/linking commands,
you'll see something like this by default:
CC guestfsd-fsck.o
CC guestfsd-grep.o
CC guestfsd-grub.o
CC guestfsd-glob.o
CC guestfsd-guestfsd.o
CC guestfsd-headtail.o
CC guestfsd-hexdump.o
CC guestfsd-initrd.o
CC guestfsd-inotify.o
...
CC guestfsd-zero.o
CC guestfsd-zerofree.o
CCLD guestfsd
If you want to diagnose a problem, or just prefer to see
full commands, build with "make V=1".

I tried this one before but it doesn't work on RHEL 5.3:
aclocal:configure.ac:27: warning: macro `AM_SILENT_RULES' not found in library
libtoolize: `config.guess' exists: use `--force' to overwrite

configure.ac:27: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_SILENT_RULES
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
(There was another one I wanted to add to do with colouring
error messages, that also doesn't work on RHEL 5).

There's an easy hack to fix that. Just add this to the top of configure.ac
m4_ifndef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [m4_define([AM_SILENT_RULES],[])])
that just turns AM_SILENT_RULES into a no-op for places where its not
available.

Thanks for the reminder, Dan.

I verified this on CentOS 5.3, so ACK.

I tried this one before but it doesn't work on RHEL 5.3:
Dan mentioned the work-around.
However, in general, ...
Do you want to require that libguestfs be buildable
from scratch (clone) on RHEL 5.3 ?
That's fine if it's required, but it may put a damper on
certain build-related improvements.

Yes. I get more mail from external users using RHEL than Fedora, and
they often build from source so they can get the extra features we
don't ship (ie. virt-inspector). Maybe I get more mail because they
have more problems, but RHEL 5.3 built from source / git clone is
nevertheless a requirement.
Are we planning to rev autotools in RHEL 5.4? That might makes things
easier if we do it.
Rich.
