Make, debug options

Hi,

I have hunted around for this, but no luck. If a build fails, there is a note about using -j1 (that makes sense!), and V=s or V=sc to debug. It works, but ... what does this mean exactly? I have tried to find it, but no luck. Just not sure what all the options are (for V in particular).

Thanks!

I've seen V=99 as well and wondered the same

Edit:

Sorry, it was rude to just dump a URL. I know I find it irritating when I see it.

However. While I'm excited for your exuberance for OpenWrt, that took maybe 40 seconds to find.

Googling openwrt V=sc led to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25578451/why-openwrt-use-v-s-in-command-line which led to the URL I provided you.

Again, I applaud that you want to learn, but you need to start looking for answers first in the community and online. Neither one of you is new :wink:

No worries (URL only) ... and apologies. I really did try that (exact) search. No idea how I missed it, but I won't try to say I didn't ... cuz clearly I did!

Thanks!

Idle curiosity in my case, never a burning desire to understand it. The opportunity to pile my question onto this one was there so i took it :wink: thanks for the link.
