Hi,
I've been looking at the CMake generated Xcode project files and I'm
wondering if the dependency hacks (XCODE_DEPEND_HELPER.make) are
absolutely necessary in newer versions of Xcode. That file has some
comment about avoiding a bug in Xcode 1.5 -- is it possible to
generate Xcode 2.0+ specific project files which wouldn't need to use
the extra makefiles?
On our project we have quite a few targets, and the extra build steps
really slow down the build (a full build when nothing has changed
takes 17s!).
Yes, unfortunately they are needed. Last I checked Xcode was still
incapable of having an external depend on a target. So, lets say you
have an exe foo, and it links to some library /usr/lib/libmylib.a, there
is no way other than the depend hack to get Xcode to relink foo when
libmylib.a changes on disk. If you can figure out how to do that, then
the hack could be removed.
