Hi,
One of my source files (epparser.d) should be generated by calling rdmd
on another soure file (make.d) and therefore should depend on changes in
make.d and an additional module (epgrammar.d). An include path to Pegged
is required for compilation. epparser.d should be part of the main
project, but make.d and epgrammar.d should not. I have tried using a dub
subpackage for this with preBuildCommands ("cd ./subpackage && dub run")
in the main project, but that doesn't update epparser.d when epgrammar.d
changes (oddly enough; is does update when subpackage targetType is
"library", but it must be "executable"). epparser.d should not be
generated unnecessarily.
I could script a custom preBuildCommand that checks modification dates
and supplies the Pegged include path explicitly but that seems hackish
and non-portable and typically something that the build system should do.
Can dub do this or is this a thing for reggae? It must work on Windows
though.
Thanks!
