Hi folks!

I usually start my FPGA builds from Makefile.
The Xilinx toolchain (xst) gives a lot of information about the 
synthezied design units:
1
Analyzing hierarchy for entity <transmitter> in library <work> (architecture <behavioral>) with generics.
2
  FREQ = 3780923
3
  RATE = 115200
1
Synthesizing Unit <transmitter>.
2
    Related source file is "x:.../transmitter.vhd".
3
    Found finite state machine <FSM_1> for signal <state>.

From the Altera toolchain (Quartus) I only get a poor:
1
Info (12021): Found 2 design units, including 1 entities, in source file .../T80/T80s.vhd
2
    Info (12022): Found design unit 1: T80s-rtl
3
    Info (12023): Found entity 1: T80s

I look in "Quartus II Scripting Reference Manual - Altera" and "AN 309: 
Command-Line Scripting in the Quartus II Software" but found no suitable 
switch.

Does anybody know a way to get a more verbose output for the synthesis 
results?
