[Insight-developers] (ITK) Build Errors terminus.kitware -- WinXP-VC60, library rebuil ds

[Bill Hoffman]

This may be a side effect of separating out the applications from the rest of ITK.   If it is all in one big project, then cmake sets up the correct depends.   However, if  a project is using a library that is not part of that project, then there is no way for the that library to be built.   

If Library A, B, and executable C are all part of the same project everything works fine.

Is this the problem you are seeing?

Here is an example:  change some code in library A.  Library B links with library A.  Executable C links with library B.  If you just tell VC6 to build executable C, then library A does not get rebuilt.  If you build from the top using the ALL_BUILD target, then everything works fine. I think Matt discovered if he added the other libraries to the particular projects (using "Add files to project"), then the rebuilds are triggered properly.  However, this information is lost the next time CMake is run.
