My (large) application has three project configurations for three different languages, each with different preprocessor constant (_ENGLISH, _RUSSIAN and none) defined. All language-dependent strings are centralized in the following manner:
!-8<---File strings.fd----------------------
!DEC$IF DEFINED(_ENGLISH)
INCLUDE "English.fd"
!DEC$ELSE IF DEFINED(_RUSSIAN)
INCLUDE "Russian.fd"
!DEC$ELSE
INCLUDE "Serbian.fd"
!DEC$ENDIF
!---------------------------------------------
All source files include only "Strings.fd".
However, when I make a change in, say, "Russian.fd" dependency analyser "sees" that "Strings.fd" is dependent from it, though the configuration is "English". Thus, whenever I change any of low-level .fds
there's a need to recompile almost all files in all three configurations though nothing was essentially changed. Since it lasts ~30 minutes, it's quite a waste of time.
Any ideas how to outwit dependency analyser? I know I could edit the makefile, but that would mean that I'd have to compile from command line.
