Displaying compiling process in MAKE

by Forrest Sheng Bao http://fsbao.net

I need to play around with couple of logic stuffs this summer, SAT solvers, ASP solvers, ASP grounders, etc. So, I need to compile lotta codes this summer. Today, I found a cool stuff.

There is an ASP grounder called Gringo, a Spanish word used by Latin Americans to call {Crazy} Yankees (not Asian/African/Hispanic/Native Americans or Martian(from the Mars) Americans but Caucasian Americans) as we call Canadians "Canuck." - How do Canadians call Russians on the North side? Well, over the pole.

Their source code is packed with cmake scripts. So, when I compile it, it looks like this:

forrest@dophin:~/gringo-2.0.3-source/build/gringo/release$ make

[ 10%] Building CXX object lib/gringo/CMakeFiles/gringo-lib.dir/src/output.o

and this at the end:

I do not know how the process is shown. But it looks pretty cool. If you know how, please let me know.
