Which platform are you on? On Linux/Unix you could use strace/truss/tusc... On Windows, there's Process Monitor (from Sysinternals).

I am on Linux and trying to create a script which calls an external program which in turn calls compilers and linkers to build C/C++ applications. I would like to capture all the file opens from the the external program to find out exactly which files were opened with complete path to them.

Be aware that, in addition to strace/truss, there is another Unix tool might prove useful when tracking open files, namely lsof.
