I'm working on converting soltools to gbuild but I've come across a
problem.
soltools/testhxx/makefile.mk echos the commandline to compile a
cxx file to a temporary file and then runs it through a perl script.
What I need is a way to get the command line used to compile a file with
out actually executing it.
With dmake this seems to be accomplished with
CAPTURE_COMMAND but I haven't been able to find equivalent funcionality in
gbuild. A pointer would be appreciated.

Peter,

The first question you should ask youself is: is this thing actually
used somewhere....

Apparently the answer is.. no.

testhxx was invented at the time we made the code warning free, and started with cleaning up the headers. It allowed to compile just a given header, with all the command line arguments of a normal compiler call.

That said, it has probably not been used lately, probably rotted, and if we ever feel a need for it again, we could create a new one from scratch in the context of the new build system. So, the old one can probably be removed now.
