An iterative software development environment is provided to perform modified dependency analyses for use in building a target file and all the files on which it depends from one or more source files using a set of prioritized build rules. In one embodiment, the build rules indicate how different types of target files can be generated from different source file types. A given target file type may be associated with several rules, each having a different priority, for building the target from different source file types. In one embodiment, if more than one source file exists that can be used to generate a given target file, the rule with the highest priority is used. In one embodiment, the build environment identifies how to generate a particular target file by identifying the highest priority rule for which an associated source file type exists. Moreover, the development environment identifies the presence of a new source file having a corresponding build rule with a higher priority than that of the source file type(s) previously used in the generation of the target file. In one embodiment of the invention, the target file is rebuilt if such a new source file is identified, or if one or more source files previously used to build the target file are determined to have been modified more recently than that indicated by the build date / time of the target file itself.
