SYMPTOMS
A header file listed in the SYSINCL.DAT file still appears in the External Dependencies list.
CAUSE
The directory to the header file is specified with forward slash (sys/test.h) rather than a backward slash (sys\test.h) in the SYSINCL.DAT file. Specifying the directory with a backslash in the SYSINCL.DAT file excludes files that are included in the source file with either forward or backward slashes. For example:
#include <sys/test1.h>
#include <sys\test2.h>
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
The files listed in SYSINCL.DAT should be excluded from dependency scanning and not be displayed in the External Dependencies folder.
