How do i enable verbose build make output

[Lis]

Hey all.
Is there a make switch that enables verbose output when building lazarus?

Or is there a overview of all make arguments somewhere? Would be cool to see a list of arguments somewhere.

Thanks Lis.

For the most verbose one, use -va. Try other -vXXX for specific result.

Try make help (I forgot whether it exists in Lazarus, but it does exist in Free Pascal source).

The -va switch would help in the future maybe but not for the problem i had.
I wanted to see what commands are executed if make prints:
Linking ... or Compiling ...
So instead of seeing what the compiler or linker loads or writes i want to see
what commands are used to execute the compiler or linker.
I also tried the make -v switch but that does not write out all commands that
are executed.

Make help in lazarus gives me:
sh-3.2# make help
make: *** No rule to make target `help'.  Stop.

make --help (or man make)?

For compiling, it's showed as fpc <compiler options> someunit.pas (or .pp).
For linking, depending on your platform, FPC may use internal linker or GNU ld. I'm not sure, but try adding -Cn. That way, you'll get ppas.bat (on Windows) and link.res (linker response file for GNU ld). Check ppas.bat for the commands.

Couldn't resist.
