Using implicit rules while displaying custom messages
<p>Lets suppose I want the benefits provided by implicit rules while also showing a progress message in the form of:  </p>

<pre><code>Compiling [main.cpp]
(...)
Linking...
</code></pre>

<p>Writing the <code>%.o: %.cpp</code> rule with the message replaces the implicit rule.<br>
And writing the whole rule explicitly defeats the goal of using implicit rules.<br>
So, any suggestions?</p>

<p>PS: If this isn't currently possible with make, it's ok.<br>
PPS: <strong>NO CMAKE</strong><br>
