( I've moved this to the automake list only. )
I now have my dependency files being generated in .deps using depcomp.
I've used a new filename .deps/$*.Pcpp to hold these.
The remaining problem is to get automake to generate include's for
them and list them in DEP_FILES. I suspect this will require an
automake change.
At this stage any changes to automake will be for derived sources
dependencies in general and not IDL specifics. This could be done by
allowing DEP_FILES += .deps/foo.Pcpp.
I suspect that to be really useful we would need variable expansion
e.g.
IDLCXXDEPS = ${IDL_HDRS:%.idl=${DEPDIR}/%.Pcpp}
DEP_FILES += ${IDLCXXDEPS}
Is there already an expand_make_variable() type function?
Alex.
