Summary0008846: One more level of makefile verbosity
DescriptionCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE triggers the display of both cmake-related commands (depends, color display, progress) and build real build commands.
Most of the time, we just want to see the real build command, and everything else is just noise (lots of noise).

There could be 2 different variables to set the display of these commands:
   - CMAKE_VERBOSE_CMAKE_MAKEFILE: display cmake related commands
   - CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKE_MAKEFILE : display build related commands

This would be very hard to implement. But, if you have any ideas, I would be willing to look at a patch.

I don't feel able yet to patch cmake myself, but my idea was that by a mean or another, cmake obviously must know the rules which it generates for itself:
   - cd xxxxx && cmake -P CMakeFiles/xxx.dir/cmake_clean_target.cmake
   - cd xxxxx && cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/xxx.dir/link.txt
   - cd xxxxx && cmake -E cmake_depends "Unix Makefiles"
   - cd xxxxx && cmake -E cmake_progress_report

Anything else, inclufing custom commands is build-related.

I forgot to mention, and I only think about it now, because you say it would be hard that maybe including or not cmake command display in makefile could be decided at makefile generation time only, once for all, and not dynamically when running make. This would probably make things much easier?

If you set the environment variable CMAKE_NO_VERBOSE to 1 while building, cmake itself will not print its dependency scanning output:
$ make VERBOSE=1 CMAKE_NO_VERBOSE=1 make

Good enough ?
