options for filtering build logs?

[davecotter]

my build log looks like this:

not very useful. I don't need to see the compiler invocation and it's myriad options per file, i really don't care about that info.

what i'd like to see instead is JUST the name of the file being compiled

is there a way to do that?

@mrjj said in options for filtering build logs?:

CONFIG+=SILENT

well that seems to work.

i guess i'm not sure what you mean by the "errors parser" cuz i introduced a compile error just to see what would happen, and the "Issues" panel showed it correctly

try to add "-silent" to your qmake-call..

@Gerd .... or CONFIG+=SILENT to the .pro file.

Note: that will break Creators error parser.

@Gerd and where, exactly, do i add "-silent"? if i add that to the "additional arguments" it just causes a build error

and if i add that, do i still see the progress of each file? or is the build now COMPLETELY silent?

[davecotter]

@aha_1980 i use Creator, so that doesn't seem useful?

[aha_1980]

@davecotter but it's either or. you can't have both.

[davecotter]

i don't want SILENT builds, i just want each file's invocation log to say the name of the file, not the entire invocation string. is there a way to do that? if i build Qt Creator myself can i do that?

[aha_1980]

@davecotter and that's exactly what the config option does - print only file names.

And that does not look like Creators error parser expects it, hence I mentioned it.

Why don't you simply try it?

[davecotter]

where do i put this "-silent" thing?

Hi
Try
CONFIG+=SILENT to the .pro file.

@davecotter
Ok. cool. and you can still click on error and go to the line?
