I removed a few files (Spring.cpp / Spring.h) from my project (no longer referenced anywhere). But running make complains that those files are missing.

clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Workspace/newgame/sandbox/src/components/Spring.cpp'
clang: error: no input files
make[2]: *** [sandbox/CMakeFiles/game.dir/src/components/Spring.cpp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [sandbox/CMakeFiles/game.dir/all] Error 2

running cmake .. and then make fixes this. but regenerating takes forever. There has to be a better way

Why do you want to avoid a clean build? Do you need compilation or linking errors? – Thomas Matthews Jun 06 '22 at 20:15
It is the best way and it shouldn't take forever. So you need to find out why it takes forever and fix it. – ixSci Jun 07 '22 at 06:03
