Thanks Nathan for that information. If I can capture the command lines
I will be all right.
I would like to express an opinion about make. It is a clever utility.
That link shows that nearly everyone uses make in some form or
another. Whether it is cmake or auto-tools it would be better if
whatever generates make files produces files which do justice to make.
I do not see that this is the case either with cmake or auto-tools.
You get something that might work if there are no errors but is overly
complex and obscure for maintaining a build. It is a side-issue with
respect to SDR of course but I am interested in promoting make for
stand-alone use.
I've been a "make" user since around 1979/1980. That a "meta-make"
system would emerge was absolutely inevitable.
When a project blooms in portability, size, dependencies, and "reach",
the use of a meta-make scheme of some sort actually makes those
kinds of project practical.
I still use naked "make" for smaller projects.

My question is, is there some recommended way to get the command lines
printed out as they are executed.
with cmake generated make files you can use make VERBOSE=1 or define the
cmake variable CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=On.
Also there is something called pybombs. Is this an alternative to
cmake?
No. Pybombs is a way to build gnuradio and dependencies inside a target
prefix.
If so is the gnuradio build system in a state of flux?
No.
Can anyone point me to some document or forum where the whys and
wherefores of the build system are discussed?
I cannot and as far as I know there is no document formally justifying the
choices. If you are turned off by cmake compared to autotools then you're
probably in the minority of C++ developers [0] (apologies for the crappy
presentation, but it's the only source of this info I know of, anyway see
box #12).
