You're just seeing the output in the foreground, since the stdio and 
stderr for that process are still directed to the terminal. If you are 
using bash, you could "make install clean &> /dev/null &" to have the 
process operate in the background and direct all output the the 
bitbucket. I don't know the analog for other shells.
