If i change some header file in my project, and use build, the source file that dependent on this header file dose not compile again , and uses the old object file with the old header configuration.

If i want that the object file will compile again, i need to clean it before use build.

You makefile doesn't have the file as a dependency for the object.
How dd you create the makefile?

The makefile generated by Eclipse will create dependency files (*.d) along with each object (*.o)
These are used during later builds.
If you've made your own makefile then you need to do something similar.

If you don't know how read:
http://make.mad-scientist.net/papers/advanced-auto-dependency-generation/
That was the first link after Googling "how to generate dependency files gcc"
There are others.

There isn't enough information to tell you why.
Clearly make doesn't think the header is a dependency.
You'll have to find out why.

The C/C++ HelloWorld projects use similar mechanisms as outlined in the link I provided.
You might want to start with one of those projects and modify it as needed.
