I want to see the actual commands sent to g++ during a Code::Blocks build.

I want to see the actual commands sent to g++ during a Code::Blocks build. I want to see exactly what command-line arguments it uses in the compile and link steps, and I don’t want to have to poke around in the build settings GUI to do it.

Alternatively, converting the Code::Blocks project to an equivalent Makefile would work, but I see nowhere where I can do that, either…

Edit

I ended up using a Code::Blocks plugin, “cbMakeGen”, to generate a makefile from which I removed some @s. Then I was able to see the commands. Surely there is an easier way…

    I see you already solved the problem, but there’s still a bit more to that.

    Code::Blocks can write a build log when the following option is checked:
    Settings->Compiler and debugger->Global compiler settings->{slide tabs to the right}->Build options tab->Save build log to HTML.

    Besides, you can use “cbp2make” to convert Code::Blocks projects to makefiles. This is not a plugin like “cbMakeGen”, but a stand-alone command-line tool. See also http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,13675.0.html .
