Well, I'm doing the same thing & I have a Makefile with:


SIPFILES = $(INTERFACE_DIR)/math.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/typemaps.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/navigation.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/database.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/szgclient.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/input.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/graphics.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/view.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/gui.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/obj.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/sound.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/interact.sip \
					 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/frameworks.sip


and:

sip_szgpart0.cpp: $(INTERFACE_DIR)/szg.sip $(SIPFILES)
	sip -c . -j 1 $(INTERFACE_DIR)/szg.sip

i.e., explicitly add all the sip files as dependencies for the .cpp
file...
