I use gnumake version GNU Make 3.81 under cygwin on windows. Cygwin version is CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-31 09:58 i686 Cygwin
In my makefile used to build the source, when i say VERBOSE=yes, i still do not see detailed commands and options used to compile,link the code. So basically VEROBSE=yes behaviour seems to be same as VERBOSE=no.
Pls. note that the compiler (sparc-elf-gcc) which the make command invokes, is configured with –verbose option. I verified that by checking sparc-elf-gcc -v .
Is this switch removed/deprecated for this particular gnumake/cygwin versions or any pointers on how I can see details of the make/compile/link commands.
thank you.
-AD.

The verbose options are not symetrical. If you turn them off in one place they are off and can not be turned on somewhere else.
Have you a @ in front of your commands? This also makes commands silent.
