Annoying build problem with VC++ 2005

[Sylv33]

Hello, I have a solution containing 4 different projects and whenever I try to build one of the projects VC++ rebuilds the entire solution (every single file for each project !) even if nothing has been modified since the last build. This is very annoying as certain projects are quite big and are a bit long to build. I checked for circular dependencies but this is not the case. Has anyone else had this problem?? Thanks, Sylv33

Are you sure to use PCH files? Make sure this option is set.

Yes I'm using PCH files. This problem only happens when I have a solution containing multiple projects. Everything builds fine when I only use a single project.

Sorry, no. I've got a solution that has 8 projects in it and the "build only what changed" works fine. If anything, it occasionally misses a dependency and doesn't rebuild enough. Before you ask it to build, go through Explorer and look at your date/time stamps on your .obj files and check what they show copmpared to the date/time on the source files. Maybe something else is messing up your file dates. Judy
