(1) CppTasks is part of SourceForge's Ant-Contrib project. The correct forum to ask questions about it is the ant-contrib list. (2) Have you tried it? In my experience, CppTask has excellent dependency checking. It does depend on timestamps, not file hashes (MD5 or else), so it can be fooled with the usual remote filesystem and unsync'd clocks issue, but beside this, it checks sources, objects, included headers, even notices differences in compiler/linker command lines and when libraries changed to relink. It's not very easy to get started with, with it works really well with incremental builds once you get it going. Try it. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
