How to request CMake to be not verbose?

Question

Every time I launch make (generated from CMake), each build step is introduced with multiple lines formatted this way:

[100%] Built target foobar Linking CXX executable ../../bin/foobar make[2]: quittant le répertoire « /home/me/git/master/build/debug »

That goes from 0% up to 100%. So every time I launch make, it outputs a lot of lines. A lot. That's very verbose and warnings get lost in the process.

How can I ask CMake to remove all that, and generate Makefiles that will get make to output only the compiler output?

make > /dev/null, you still get compiler error messages printed out since they go to stderr. — virtus

@virtus Indeed it works. I feel dump. I was thinking that gcc was outputing that on the standard output... as long as it is not gcc's internal error. Make an answer, I'll be glad to accept it. — yves Baumes

Just do:

make > /dev/null

You still get compiler error messages printed out since they go to stderr.
