If a .vcxproj file is re-generated while "msbuild" is running then the new one may not be loaded and used until the next "msbuild". Perhaps that is okay for this use-case, but dynamic dependency injection is not possible if the dependencies are needed the first time around (which was the case last time I thought about this). Perhaps IMPLICIT_DEPENDS could be implemented by outputting the dependency information as a side effect of running the custom command. Then as part of deciding whether CMake needs to re-run on the next build it can look to see if that dependency information was updated. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
