You always see the *output*. I'm guessing you mean, "Why can't I see what commands make's executing?", and that's an option to make: "-dl" will print out the commands make is executing (overriding the @prefix that makes commands not get echoed). Beware, this is not very pretty. In most cases, what actually get executed are long, long sets of shell commands with conditionals and such, so it takes a bit of deciphering to see what's going on when you're looking at, e.g., a 2000-character long shell command that's wrapped over 25 lines. -- Alan Eldridge "Dave's not here, man."
