Summary0015753: CMake cannot detect changes in nested header files when using '-iquote'
DescriptionCreate a new project with such CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)
project(test)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -iquote ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}")
add_executable(test-iquote main.cpp dir/1.h dir/2.h)

And such structure:

CMakeLists.txt
Main.cpp (contains #include "dir/1.h")
dir\
    1.h (contains #include "dir/2.h")
    2.h

Build. Then modify 2.h. Build again. Nothing will happen, it will just say '[100%] Built target test-iquote'.
Additional InformationTried with both clang and GCC. GNU Make 3.81.
TagsNo tags attached.

 CMake does not try to interpret include flags that are not specified through the include_directories or target_include_directories commands. Therefore the Makefile generator dependency scanner does not know about the specified directory.

The Ninja generator should work because it asks the compiler to report dependency information, and that has the full command line.

 Also tried with gmake 4.1, the same results.

 Brad Kind, thank you! But what is Ninja generator and how to use it? I'm not using the CMake directly, I'm using it though CLion, and at he moment they encourage to use -quote (http://blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2015/08/new-clion-1-1-eap-project-scopes-cmake-targets-and-other-changes/ [^]).

I opened a CLion ticket (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-4565 [^]), they said they are fixing the problem in another way, so maybe this issue won't be that important for CLion users soon.

 > But what is Ninja generator and how to use it?

When running CMake directly in a fresh build tree one can specify a generator, e.g.

 cmake ../src -GNinja

That will generate build files for the "ninja" build tool instead of "make".

If you're using CMake through CLion then I don't know whether the generator can be selected in this way.

 Brad Kind, agha, Ninja is an alternative to 'make', it is even possible to use it with CLion: http://www.mergeconflict.net/2014/11/speeding-up-clion-build-times-with.html, [^] though not very reliably, because is requires manual edit of CMakeCache.

 I'm resolving this as a duplicate of 0015491 because that issue covers the underlying problem of supporting -iquote. That issue is actually linked from the article linked in 0015753:0039456.
