MBS extension: build variable don't include header files [message #201767]

I use tools that generate source and header files. I want yo use the
extension capability of the MBS 4.0 to include these tools in my tool
chain. In order to manage dependency problems, I stored the generated
files in a build variable (buildVariable field of the Output Type).
However the header files are not included in the variables in the makefiles.
Is this a normal behavior of MBS?

best regards,

The headers are not built, so they are only used in dependency rules,
which you will find in the .d files.

I agree, but in the project I am working on, the header files are
generated from other files. As a consequence the first time they don't
exists and the command to generate .d files fails. That's why I want to
use build variables and a special task defined with the prebuildStep
option of the Configuration in order to force the header files
generation before the build and enable .d files generation.
