The sphinx-build is fairly verbose spitting out pages of output to the
console, which causes errors from other build commands to be scrolled
off the top of the terminal. This can leave the mistaken impression that
the build passed, when in fact there was a failure.

The meson.build rules are turned into a ninja.build file at configure time. IOW, at the time that conversion happens the V=1 arg isn't present, so we can't conditionally pass '-q'.

I'd rather have "always verbose" than "never verbose" then, I think. Also, this seems like a meson/ninja misfeature if we can't do a perfectly sensible thing. We can do it for cc, why not sphinx? thanks -- PMM

We can do it for cc, why not sphinx? This patch is trying to make sphinx behave the same way as CC. With CC by default you get "Compiling C object ...." and with V=1 you get the gcc command line printed. With sphinx you now get "Generating QEMU manual with a custom command" and with V=1 you get the sphinx-build command line printed. In both cases you'll get errors printed to stderr by gcc/sphinx There is no case in which GCC would print verbose progress information reading source/header files to stdout, which is what sphinx currently does without '-q' Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
