I am using the ESP8266 board manager. I want to see how Arduino IDE compiles my code once I click Verify.

Why do I want to do this?

I am trying to integrate a C library for which there is now Arduino library package available. So I have to integrate it from source. I want to be able to specify custom -I, -L and -l flags when I compile my code.

    Turn on the verbose compiler settings in the preferences.

In the Arduino IDE switch on File>Preferences>Upload erbose and Compile Verbose

When you build you will see all the compiler commands

The verify is often a -v param in the command

You will find the esp8266 platform.txt in a location such as c:\users\[name]\appdata\local\arduino15\packages\esp8266...

The platform.txt contains all the compiler switches, the boards.txt in the same location can also contain board specific switches.

You can not specify different switches for different files in a compilation but you could compile your code into an archive then force it into the build process. Not sure if that is practical or not.
