don't show includes, whatever the generator

Usage
1

Hi,

So far, on windows, I was using nmake (using NMake Makefiles generator) with cl and make (using MinGW Makefiles generator) with gcc.
But experimenting on parallel build, I realized that using make achieved a better job than nmake (using cmake --build . --parallel <#cpu>).
Thus I wanted to use MinGW Makefiles generator instead of NMake Makefiles generator but I observed that cmake then adds /showIncludes which is undesired (at least for me).

How can I prevent that? Bonus: is there a way to inactivate showIncludes, independently of the compiler and build tool used?

Regards,
A.

Show includes is necessary for dependency scanning. It’s how the build system learns what headers should trigger a rebuild. It cannot be turned off.

Hi

I thought it was merely a logging option? It clutters my output with Note: Included file: <whatever>
It’s this logging behavior that I want to suppress.

OK
I read about dependency scanning…
And I feel I’m stuck with that: either I use nmake+cl but with poor parallel build capabilities or I’ve got hard to read output…

shame…

I would consider using Ninja if you desire clarity of build output and fully parallel builds
