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.auto and 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
