Suppress echo of command invocation in makefile?

Question

I wrote a program for an assignment which is supposed to print its output to stdout. The assignment spec requires the creation of a Makefile which when invoked as make run

Answer 1

You can also use .SILENT

.SILENT: run
hi:
     echo "Hola!"
run:
     java myprogram

In this case, make hi will output command, but make run will not output.
