Yeah that's about it.  A -q or -quiet option should shut the compiler up. Really, all I want is for the annoying gcc compile line to not be displayed - I only need the error output from dmd itself.  It's very distracting in a Makefile where everything else I build is quiet unless an error occurs.  BTW, I work with D primarily on Linux.

Maybe you could write a simple app to discard stdout and display stderr?

Obviously that's based on the assumption that GCC puts its errors to stderr, which it may well (and correctly) not do. (Since a compile error is not, usually, an error in the compiler <g>)

If that fails, you could always write a filter using regex to do it.

It's only the gcc thousands_of_dot_o_files.o -lmylibrary -o some_output line that bugs me.  It really should be a compiler option to quiet this.  dmd is the program that outputs this line when it calls gcc.  gcc doesn't output anything but linker errors, and usually nothing at all.
