Hi, our project was using hand-made makefiles which were becoming difficult to maintain, so I decided to migrate to CMake. This is my first time with CMake, so still testing it, but there is something that I haven't figured out how to do, namely avoid compilation cascades.
I'm using right now Intel Fortran and the issue with it is that everytime you make a change in the source code, the generated .mod file is also created even if the procedures interfaces were not changed at all. With our hand made makefiles I was keeping a copy of the .mod files in another directory, then after the .mod file was generated I stripped the first bytes (to avoid a timestamp that Intel Fortran puts in the .mod files) and then compared with the old .mod file. If both were identical I overwrote the new .mod file with the old one, and since other object files depended on the .mod files (as per the hand-made written makefile), then no recompilation of other files using that module was performed. I was hoping to get similar behaviour with CMake, but without so much hand-made tweaking (as I read that CMake could do its own dependency resolution), but I'm not sure how to proceed, as at least now every time I just modify anything in one of the source files, every module that uses it is recompiled (recursively all the project up). Any pointers on how to avoid compilation cascades with Fortran+CMake?
