Does DMC has an autodepend feature?

Watcom includes information about all the included header files in the OBJ
files, so once the MAKE is run, it will automatically scan the OBJs and find
out the ones that need to be recompiled one a dependent file changes.

I saw DMC has a switch to create a DEP file, but is that needed to be run
once when I add a header file, or can that switch be given always, so that
it will work just as that Watcom feature for lazy programmers like me?

Thanks

Christian

BTW: I did not find whether DEP files apply to RC files (and ASM) too. Do
they work there too?

No, sorry.

No, sorry, just the .dep file generation switch.

Walter,

thanks for answering. Is the DEP file automatically recognized by MAKE and
NETMAKE? I did not find a comment in MAKE about these files.

What you do is:

    test.exe : $(test.dep)
