Can you post two revision numbers such that after building with the first I can update and see this behavior? > One thing I noticed is that DependInfo.cmake seems to be updated just to > change the order of lines in it.

When a header or source file changes dependencies might have changed so CMake rescans them. This updates the DependInfo.cmake file, and may write things in a new order. The order of dependencies listed in the file should not matter. > Also, somehow something deletes many .o files during the build process so I > can't > see exactly why so many files have to be rebuilt, make -d simply says > "kdebug.o > doesn't exist anymore, so obviously I need to rebuild it". But why does it > get deleted? When it is detected that an object file is out of date during dependency scanning it gets deleted to be sure it is rebuilt. I've forgotten the exact reason we have to do this. I think we had some problems with low resolution time on make's decision making with some older makes that prevent things from rebuilding unless the object is missing altogether. -Brad _______________________________________________ Kde-buildsystem mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-buildsystem
