Developping a large CAD software into MacApp, we would like to increase the
speed of the Pascal compiler. To avoid having compiling all the program when
changing only a small part of it, we did as shown in the cookbook:
- one UXXXX.p file for the interface
- a set of UXXXX.incx.p files for each main group of objects for the
implementation, declared as {$I UXXXX.incx.p}
The problem is that the compiler is not compiling unless a change has been made
in the first include file, and is then compiling all the include files!
Thanks to anyone who could make me see the light!

You didn't post your XXX.MAMake file, so I don't know if there is a mistake in it anywhere. However, it should have a few lines that look something like this: "{ObjApp}"UXXXX.p.o <opt-f> "{SrcApp}UXXX.p" <opt-d> "{SrcApp}UXXX.inc1.p" <opt-d> "{SrcApp}UXXX.inc2.p" <opt-d> etc. This way, if any of your .incx.p files change, then your object file will be marked out of date, and will be rebuilt.
