Hi,
I have a foo.mak file already setup for the build environment here. Assume I can't touch it, or if I do, I have to do an AWFUL lot of time consuming admin work (long story, you don't want to know:) :).
The source I'm working with here is riddled with warnings. so much so that each time I make the project it takes me ages to navigate my way up to the appropriate error line and make my corrections. I would like to supress these warning messages (I know, I know... I should heed them but this source is YEARs old and I ain't going to start refactoring/correcting it all now).
Anyways, my question is this;
is there any option I can pass to make such that errors only will be reported? somethign along the lines of
make -ONLY_REPORT_ERRORS
I can't see many options available when I run
thanks a lot

I assume that you want to cut down the compiler warnings?
If so, you need to change the compiler rule so that it displays less
warnings.
This should be on a line in the makefile similar to
.cpp.obj:
bcc32 line with lots of options
You should add the appropriate bcc32 option to make the compiler quieter.
(But as I don't use it I can't tell you what that is....)

Go to Project|Options...|Compiler and click Selected under Warnings.
Then click Warnings and uncheck those warnings you don't want.

make -ffoo.mak 1>nul.txt
This will redirect stdout to nul.txt, leaving stderr printing to the
console. If bcc32 prints warnings to stdout and errors to stderr, then
this will work. However, I don't know if it does this or not. Like I
said, worth a try, but don't get your hopes up.

Hi thanks for that, the -w- options did the trick. Now I get 4 lines of output when I compile instead of 4000 :)
cheers
