the compiler window outputs many header files (build in windows with msvc)

[cuijg]

How can I prevent the output of these header files?

@cuijg This comes from the Microsoft C/C++ Compiler via the /showIncludes parameter.

Build systems like ninja use this information to manage the dependencies between source files.

Ninja has the msvc_deps_prefix parameter where you could specify the translated string of Note: including file:.

CMake since version 3.20 has:

Makefile Generators, for some toolchains, now use the compiler to extract implicit dependencies while compiling source files.

I don't know if JOM can handle this.

You can fix this as:

1. Migrate to the Ninja CMake generator.
2. Migrate to clang-cl compiler which doesn't use /showIncludes but the GNU version of generating the dependencies
3. Set VSLANG=1033 environment variable to force the output of the MSVC Compiler to English and hopefully things would just work.

jom has no special handling for this. The simplest way forward seems to be to switch to ninja.

OK，I Migrate to the Ninja，，完美~
