help in Makefile pls...

hi,
Is it possible to hide the build process in makefiles during the compilation and only display the echoes set?
for example:

all:
g++ -o foo foo.cpp
@echo 'building...'

If I type in make, the text display in the terminal would only be:

building...

How would I do this? Thanx in advance...

AFAIK you can put @ in front of any command. And it'll be supressed. To suppress it's output as well, redirect to /dev/null or a file.
