wtools debug info

To print debug info from wtools such as information on the creation of modules, call waf with wtools zone enabled:

$ waf --zones=wtools

Listing targets (taskgens)

Additionally it is possible to list the task generators which can be used to verify if a particular wscript script has been parsed correctly and results in the expected taskgenerators.

$ waf list

Show command line

To see the resulting command line when e.g. compiling, run waf with verbosity >= 1:

$ waf -v

Configuration failure

If waf configure raises exceptions regarding import errors it is likely that the waf you are using are missing some extra features used by wtools, c.f. prerequisites.
