For example, if ‘<samp>make -w</samp>’ is run in the directory <samp>/u/gnu/make</samp>, <code>make</code> will print a line of the form: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">make: Entering directory `/u/gnu/make'. +</pre> +</div> <p>before doing anything else, and a line of the form: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">make: Leaving directory `/u/gnu/make'. +</pre> +</div> <p>when processing is completed. </p> <p>Normally, you do not need to specify this option because ‘<samp>make</samp>’ does it for you: ‘<samp>-w</samp>’ is turned on automatically when you use the ‘<samp>-C</samp>’ option, and in sub-<code>make</code>s. <code>make</code> will not automatically turn on ‘<samp>-w</samp>’ if you also use ‘<samp>-s</samp>’, which says to be silent, or if you use ‘<samp>--no-print-directory</samp>’ to explicitly disable it. </p><div class="_attribution"> + <p class="_attribution-p"> + Copyright © 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.<br> + <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/_002dw-Option.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/_002dw-Option.html</a> + </p> +</div> |
