Build of Managed C++ project doesn't handle dependancies  
Hi,

I have a large project which I have setup as a Managed C++ project in Momentics 4.0.1.  When I modify an include file it
 seems to only recompile the appropriate cpp files if the cpp files are in the same folder as the modified h file. Souce
 files in other folders which reference the modified include file don't get recompiled.

The work around we are doing now is doing a clean every time we change an h file.  However as it takes about 15 minutes 
to do a full build this is very inconvenient.

Is this a known problem, are there any workarounds.

Cheers
Thom
Re: Build of Managed C++ project doesn't handle dependancies  
THere were several problems in IDE 4.0.1 Managed Make customization, 
some of them were in dependency checking area. It happened because QNX 
versionof MMB was based on the first release of this feature in CDT 
after its almost complete redesign. If you are thinking about serious 
projects, I would not recommend to build it on this foundation. Search 
in Eclipse Bugzilla gives a few registered bugs, but this one you are 
writing about  could be easily missed and not reported because of  MMB's 
very small user base at this time. Implementation in IDE 4.5 is much 
more mature, and I'd recommmend to use this one. Anyway, sorry for 
inconvinience.

Alex.
