Description me 2019-06-27 09:39:39 UTC

SUMMARY
Reloading project files generates a dependency files (*.d) of all source files  of the project in the users home directory. It seems this only happens if the project is split up into multiple libraries (used wiht add_subdirectory / target_link_libraries)


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a simple cmake project (with module in subfolder)
2. reload project files

OBSERVED RESULT
*.d files are generated in the home directory

EXPECTED RESULT
no *.d files in the home directory

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon User Edition 5.16

I've never seen this happen :) can you please attach the example project you used?

how did you configure it - purely from kdevelop or also from the command line?

what version of cmake do you use?

I tried to create a minimal example but this seemed to work as it should. one if my older project not but that one, I can't attach here

I used it from both, kdevelop and cmd line

> what version of cmake do you use?

always a quite recent one (3.16.4 atm)

can you try the latest kdevelop version from git master which uses the cmake file api instead of the cmake server mode? maybe that fixes this?

I tried it with the git version, same result. opening one of my 'older' project, *.d files for all c-files were created in the home directory. it doesn't happen on the sample project I created.
As I don't have the time to investigate further, I'll close it for now...
