Since we have this wonderful multi-tasking machine, I like to run lmk
in the background and do something more interesting while the system
compiles. However, no matter WHAT I do the stupid lattice "progress"
messages keep coming out. I can redirect the error messages to a file
but NOT the damned Lattice commercials. I suspect others have had thi
problem as well and would like a solution or perhaps someone from
Lattice can stand up and defend this kind of crap. Even a command
line switch to LC would be acceptable - Anything but this!

Both from Lattice's perspective and yours. My solution is quite crude and rude, edit the lmk, lc1, lc2 binaries and drop a NUL into the first character of the strings. You will still get some newlines though unless you can find the printf() calls (where you could eliminate those too.) --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

"-." will suppress the copyright message from lc1 and lc2. In fact, that is how lc suppresses those. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on lc. My ".c.o" default rule used to invoke lc1 and lc2 explicitly, with "-.", but I've started using lc since 5.0 came out...I just shrink that cli window down and ignore the copyright messages. -Dan Riley (riley@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu, cornell!batcomputer!riley) -Wilson Lab, Cornell U.

I hacked fred fish's cc program (a replacement for lc) to work with lattice 5.0, and as a extra benefit, it eliminates all non-error messages (so a successful compile outputs nothing). I can send it to you if you want. -Miles

I only have Lattice 3.10, so you probly want to check this if you have a higher revision. Solution: I wrote a program that dumped its command line ( like ECHO) as is to the screen. I called it "lc1" and copied it to "lc2" Then invoked "lc". The magic option (first option) is "-.". This is not a valid option to "lc" however. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In Real Life: Joe Porkka porkka@frith.egr.msu jap@syssun.cl.msu.edu (35.8.1.1)

(minus period) which causes the initial message to be suppressed. This is only present on LC1 and LC2 however (presumably so that LC can make them supress THEIR messages, while it prints out messages of its own). So the solution is to alter your makefile to call LC1 and LC2 seperately, with appropriate parameters, rather than using LC to do the dirty work.

How about one of you wizards writing a wedge that inserts itself into the console output stream at some point, and filters out lines that match a particular pattern. Thus we could stick copies of all the lines we NEVER want to see again in some file, say s:blackhole, and they would disappear on output. Of course, editing the file might be kind of interesting... -Fred -- # Fred Fish, 1835 E. Belmont Drive, Tempe, AZ 85284, USA # 1-602-491-0048 asuvax!{nud,mcdphx}!estinc!fnf

Same problem with Aztec C. The best way to gag an overly talkative program is to patch the copyright messages in the executable with NewZAP or something like that. Works like a charm for me. Just write a hex 00 over the first character of the copyright messages. The only thing that still bothers me is the f*ing linker. The copyright message isn't displayed anymore, and the module listing, size display etc. is disabled, too, but it still prints a '\n' which I haven't been able to wipe out yet. But AHM GONNA GETCHA! :-) -- Lars Soltau UUCP: ...uunet!unido!pfm!nadia!space BIX: -- no bucks --
