I get your point that there is not an easy to do content based dependency (hash as an approximation) for all backends. For the reason mentioned below, I'd think that content based dependency is important. The support for this feature should be considered first for GNU make, which does seem to be too difficult (as it just requires some additional rules). The support for *all* backends can be added later on one by one. o Makepp will not recompile if only comments or whitespace in C/C++ sources have changed. This is especially important for header files which are automatically generated by other programs and are included in many modules. Even if the date has changed because the file was remade, makepp won't recompile if the file hasn't changed. -- Regards, Peng -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
