Only output errors / warnings when compile kernel?

Question

When you compile kernel you normally see lines like

CC XX.o or LD XX

So, can I skip these messages? Only output errors or warnings generated by gcc

How about make > /dev/null? Why would you want to do that actually? — peterph

Yes, warnings/errors go to stderr. Or (in bash) make 2>&1 1>stdout.log | tee stderr.log - you'll get both logged, only stderr will be displayed. — peterph

@peterph But if the CC ... line got lost, you won't be able to figure out where the message comes from. — vonbrand

compilers usually include the file name in the warning/error message. — peterph

Looks like make -s works.

That would make the whole procedure "silent".
