The $(info) function was added in GNU make 3.81.

The $(info) construct prints nothing in a context where $(warning) and $(error) do print a message as expected:

> cat mymakefile

foo := $(info aninfomessage)
bar := $(warning awarningmessage)
baz := $(error anerrormessage)

all:

> make -f mymakefile

mymakefile:2: awarningmessage
mymakefile:3: *** anerrormessage. Stop.

The $(info) construct prints nothing when used by itself, either:

> cat anothermakefile

foo := $(info aninfomessage)

all:

> make -f anothermakefile

make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
