Summary0005870: A way to add a file that when changed will cause CMake to regenerate the makefiles
DescriptionIt would be useful to be able to specify a file that when changed, causes CMake to regenerate its build files.

In my project I have used the attached patch to add Visual Studio's .vcproj files as makefile dependency so that when a file is added to a project, CMake is rerun. This is useful because I have evil FILE(GLOB ...) commands in my CMakeLists for creating the project file lists, but I believe there could be other situations in which you would like to easily have the makefiles depend on a file.

Sending issues I'm not actively working on to the backlog to await someone with time for them.

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it:

 http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer or contributor who has the bandwidth to take it on.
