makefile debug

abhinav.arora · 03-10-2009, 09:04 AM

I tried using the make -d command to spit out debugging information hoping to find out the exact include files it is using but nothing like that in the output showed up.

Was wondering if anyone knows any make command flag or something which will show during the make process, which include files (exact file names not just directory paths) it is accessing.

Thanks.

If nobody knows something more convenient you could try

Code:

strace -e trace=open make

I haven't actually used this, but the GNU Remake Debugger seems like it could be useful.
