C++ Dependencies manager

Question

We have here a pretty big application that is taking a lot of time to compile and I am looking for a way to reduce this compile time. I thought a good way to do this would be to reduce the dependency between the include files. Do you know any good dependency/Includes manager that would be pretty cheap? Something that would draw me a good graphic and show me where are the "dependencies bottleneck".

Thank you.

You can try include graphs in doxygen.

You could use Source Navigator to analyze the source. Look at the section: Using the Include Browser in here. Or a better option would be to use cinclude2dot
