This is not a 100% solution to our dependency problems though. There can
still be corner-cases where it is needed to manually clean some files, but
it will be needed a lot less than today. Also in order to have acceptable
performance, we cannot check dependencies on every included file on each
make invocation. Therefore, this is currently only checked each time the
automatically generated makefile (makefile.auto) is regenerated.
Makefile.auto is regenerated each time a build system file (*.xml) is
modified. If you need to check the dependencies on files not specified in
the build system files "automatic dependencies", then delete makefile.autoand
run make again.
Just a little idea:
Could you please insert a target named "depends" in the main makefile, which
just does this:
delete makefile.auto
make all
