What source files include the header? Is one of them listed as a file in your project? Does the **including** file exist at CMake configure time, or is it generated later by a build step? What do the lines of code that include the header look like?
CMake uses its own analysis of the source files to determine the depends information, since it needs to generate it without invoking the compiler. This leads to a less-than-100% rate of correctness in the depends information, although usually, it is misses "in the other direction" due to depending on a header file which is included in some conditionally compiled block. (So the typical problem is an extra dependency, not a missing one...) Perhaps passing along the includers and the exact lines and context of being included will give us a hint about why the dependency is not generated properly in your case. HTH, David C.
