Usually, compilations of an mkmk or imake component are not verbose. If you want to get the whole trace of the build, just add 'SILENT=' to the Paths file:
host% echo 'SILENT=' >> Paths
To test this modification, compile the EXAMPLES component by configuring the source files:
host% make reconfigure NEWCONF='-s /<src_dir>/opt/examples/'
The previous command has produced another Paths files, so if you add "SILENT=" again and run the make command, you will see a more verbose output.
host% echo 'SILENT=' >> Paths host% make
As the application binary files are already configured, the configure command will skip the binary files and choose to use the source files.
