h files in the auto genrated makefile

[boaz]

When I use the auto generated makefile capability for GCC,
the h files are not included, thus, when changing only an h file and hitting Build, nothing is compiled.
Is this on purpose? is it a bug?

Are these header files included in your project?

[boaz]

of course...

Sorry, have to ask these things

Sorry for the slow response.  I had to look into this.

It turns out we don't do this because it would be very hard for us to consistently get it right.  There are a couple of things you could do:

• Use makedep to generate the dependencies, and then include that in the user modifiable piece of the generated makefile.
• For a small project, you may just be able to tweak the output to add the headers - and then switch the type off of auto-generated makefile.

Of course you could use our build system, which will handle the dependencies internally, but I imagine you tried the makefile because this was not a good option for you to start with.

Actually after reconsidering, the internal build is good enough for me,
so for me it is a valid solution

Thanks for your time...
