cmake or make: debug output, show command


I am using cmake to build my project and it seems it breaks when linking. Everything seems fine in the CMakeLists.txt so I was wondering if there is any way I can see the exact command that is issued when trying to link.

I looked at running "cmake --debug-output" and then "make -d" but although it showed me tons of information there was nothing about the actual command.

The result I would like to see is what you usually see when running make:
"g++ ..."

But how? cmake makes that information disappear. :(

Did you write the file yourself? Can you find the lines in the makefile with g++ and add the -v option? That will break down even the individual g++ calls into C++ compilation, C compilation, assembler, and linking commands.

I went through the Makefiles (there are a lot when using cmake :D) and finally found the problem. :)

Although it would've been easier if I could've seen the g++ command that Makefile was running. :P

You can if you pass the VERBOSE environment variable (or Makefile variable, it makes no difference) to make running a cmake Makefile. E.g.,
Code:
$ cmake .
$ make VERBOSE=1
Or
Code:
$ cmake .
$ VERBOSE=1 make
