I assume you're using GLOB to get the list of sources? This is considered
to be bad practice, you should list your source files in the CMakeLists.txt
file in which case adding a new file will re-run cmake automatically
because you changed the CMakeLists.txt.

And to clearly answer your question: No its not possible to re-run cmake
when you add a file, if you use GLOB-stuff to create the list of source
files.
