Re: "Batch-Mode" rules with Microsoft compile

CXX = Cl
CXXFLAGS = -GR -vmm -D_MT -Zi -Od -D_DEBUG -MTd -GZ -FD -I../include

ifndef CCSRC
CCSRC := $(wildcard *.cpp)

$(CCOBJ): $(CCSRC)
        $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -c $?
        touch $(CCOBJ)

addPathData.cpp: ../include/evSysDep.h ../include/evutil.h
../include/EarthVision.h ../include/evGeoSpace.h ../include/evObj.h
../include/evError.h ../include/evWellObj.h ../include/evObject.h
../include/evSQL.h

ev_addpath.cpp: ../include/evSysDep.h ../include/evutil.h
../include/EarthVision.h ../include/evGeoSpace.h ../include/evObj.h
../include/evError.h ../include/evLicense.h ../include/evWellObj.h
../include/evObject.h ../include/evSQL.h

The above is modified and boiled down.  With the above changing an
include file doesn't cause the source to recompile for some reason.

Thanks,

P.S.  All of .h files for each .ccp are on one line but they wrap in the
email.
