Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: hide error checker logs for V=1 builds
Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2022 17:24:25 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220924082425.3116757-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)

V=1 (verbose build) shows commands executed by Make, but it may cause
misunderstanding.

For example, the following command shows the outstanding error message.

  $ make V=1 INSTALL_PATH=/tmp install
  test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || (                \
  echo >&2;                                                       \
  echo >&2 "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";           \
  echo >&2 "         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
  echo >&2 "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";      \
  echo >&2 ;                                                      \
  /bin/false)
    unset sub_make_done; ./scripts/install.sh

It is not an error. Make just showed the recipe lines it has executed,
but people may think that 'make install' has failed.

Likewise, the combination of V=1 and O= shows confusing
"*** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'".

Suppress such misleading logs.
