Revision history [back]

The referenced docs link in the prior answer is now broken.

I found a related article on enabling additional information and I was able to run colcon --log-level debug build to get some insight, which gave me some hints that the build system used is make for my project.

This let me cd build/<project_name> and VERBOSE=1 make to see the build commands.
