Is there a way to instruct the cpp plugin to log the compiler and linker commands that are being executed to the console?
The best way is to run the build with ‘–info’.
cpp/cpp-exe » gradle --info mainExecutable | grep 'Starting process'
Starting process 'command '/usr/bin/g++''. Working directory: /usr/bin Command: /usr/bin/g++ -v
Starting process 'command '/usr/bin/g++''. Working directory: /Users/daz/dev/gradlestuff/samples/cpp/cpp-exe Command: /usr/bin/g++ @/Users/daz/dev/gradlestuff/samples/cpp/cpp-exe/build/tmp/linkMainExecutable/compiler-options.txt
Where possible, Gradle will write command arguments to an option file, which will be found under ‘build/tmp’.
