I'm speaking about manual vs automatic source-level dependency handling. For example, CORE_DEPS is an easy but inaccurate cross-platform hack. The same is true for ADDON_DEPS: if you add any header here, all addons will be rebuilt on that header change. That's not a big deal, because C compiles fast enough and ccache could be used to mitigate "false positives" of hand-written deps. But there's room for improvement for sure. For example, I had build issues because of forgetting to include headers into core/addon deps after splitting addon into a set of header/source files. >There are no plans to support CMake. Targeting any modern C-oriented build system would add many benefits including "standardized" routines for library detection, dependency handling, etc. Are there any plans on adding "per-addon header deps" so changes to a single header don't result in all addons recompiling?
