SCons less verbose ?

Question

Hello,

I want to remove from the SCons log the long compiling/linking commands.

I followed what is written on this page : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/890142/what-do-you-do-to-make-compiler-lines-shorter

Here is exactly what I did :

AddOption("--verbose", action="store_true",
           dest="verbose_flag", default=False, help="verbose output")
if not GetOption("verbose_flag"):
        print 'test'
        env['CXXCOMSTR'] = "----- Compiling test ------"
        env['LINKCOMSTR'] = "Linking $TARGET"
print env.Dump()

env.SharedLibrary(..

SCons goes in the if ('test' is printed), and CXXCOMSTR and LINKCOMSTR are updated (checked with Dump()).

But it seems that SCOns just doesn't care : it still prints the full g++ commands.

Thanks for help.

CXXCOMSTR and LINKCOMSTR are used for static objects, you are building shared ones. Set SHCXXCOMSTR and SHLINKCOMSTR.
