Generating and using dependency files for custom build steps

[fhoenig]

I'm using shaderc / glslc in a premake project and unfortunately files included in glsl compile units are not tracked.
In Xcode's custom build steps there is an unchecked option that can specify a .d file and glslc can generate those.

% glslc --help |grep dep       
  -M                Generate make dependencies. Implies -E and -w.
  -MD               Generate make dependencies and compile.
  -MF <file>        Write dependency output to the given file.
  -MT <target>      Specify the target of the rule emitted by dependency

Is there a portable way to funnel this into Xcode and Visual Studio projects?

Many thanks!
