What is 'Dependency Graph' telling me?

Python does the heavy lifting of creating the translation file and after that, the GCC compiler kicks in.

I believe so. After the compiler has done its thing, the linker compines all the object files with all the libraries to create an *.elf file. That gets converted to *.hex and *.eep ready for upload. Assuming no errors.

Does that also mean that the bulk load of messages that occurs when building an application, comes from Python?

That would depend on what the errors are. Things like duplicate definitions, syntax errors, unused variables, missing functions etc would be from the compiler, undefined function names are most likely the linker (with error 1 or error 2 usually).

Missing libraries, dependency graphs would be python, from the Library Dependency Finder. Informative messages during the build would most likely be from the various Python “stuff”.

Cheers,
Norm.
