Currently, when
USE_EXPLICIT_INSTANTIATION=ON
, re-running CMake will trigger recompilation of OpenVDB instantiation files. The culprit is the following line:openvdb/openvdb/openvdb/CMakeLists.txt
Line 601 in 3f8b6f3
As the documentation for file(WRITE) mentions, one should use configure_file() to copy generated files used as build sources, only if the content changes. Given that
USE_EXPLICIT_INSTANTIATION
was created to save time when recompiling dependent files, this is quite an unfortunate mistake. This PR fixes that.
