"But not" what? Can you please provide a full description of the issue and provide an example project. Figuring out what should be compiled is usually handled by the build tools so it might not even be related to CodeLite. Does it work if you build externally?

@liuxd889898 :

Verify that you have set "Generate dependencies files (.o.d)" in Build settings | Advanced That options is required for your workflow.

If that doesn't fix your issue, which generator do you use?

@AJenbo : I have fixed dependencies issue 5 years ago in the Makefile generator I can reproduce issue now by un-checking above option.

With minimal project: main.cpp

#include "header.h"
int main() {}

header.h

//#error "test"

build once (OK)
uncomment //#error "test"
build (and not rebuild) -> Nothing to build OK, whereas it should recompile main.cpp and error.

I think "Generate dependencies files" should be ticked by default - it is very unintuitive behaviour to have projects not recompile when you edit header files, and I seen a good reason to turn it off.
