Is there a way to get Make to be silent when it does nothing, but have its normal verbosity when something is made?
You can write a wrapper script and run it in a subshell to capture the output. Pretend echo is make:
a=$(echo 'made something') # no output if echo $a | grep 'made something' > /dev/null; then echo $a fi
