VS2008 always wants to rebuild.
in [MFC]

From: Hector Santos on 26 Jan 2010 09:39 The only time I have seen anything close to this behavior was when the dates are off in the computer or across the network where I had source files, etc. Might be your issue, but who knows :) Simon wrote: > On 2010/01/26 03:51 PM, Martin B. wrote: >> Simon wrote: >>> >>> On 2010/01/26 01:26 PM, Simon wrote: >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> I have a solution with 12 projects. >>>> When I do a rebuild of the solution everything looks file, no warnings >>>> and no error. >>>> >>>> Then, without changing anything I select "Build Solution" and the >>>> compiler always rebuilds 2 or 3 of the projects. >>>> >>>> The output folder is on my machine, there are no issues with the clock >>>> or anything like that. >>>> >>>> So what could cause the compiler to think it needs to rebuild those >>>> project? >>>> >>>> Regards, >>>> >>>> Simon >>> >>> >> Do you have any post- or pre.build steps that modify/copy/move files? >>> >>> Yes I do, one that modify once file. >>> But it is not included in the project/solution. >>> >> >> I was talking about Project > Properties > Build Events > Post-Build >> Event.

Well so I guess this ain't the problem. What kind of Project is it anyway - only C++/MFC? Any .NET stuff in there? Does the rebuild also happen if you rightclick on the mentioned projects and choose build there, or only when you do build-sln? You could try monitoring the output and intermediate files modification dates. ... ETC. Anyway - I have seen some weir rebuild behaviour in the past. Most of the times I could get rid of it by doing a full rebuild on the affected projects. br, Martin

If not, that says it's not in any of the code but something on the machine. What is the first file that continually builds? Does that have any specific dependencies like a file that might have been built temporarily and deleted so that has changed, and thus the file gets rebuilt? Unfortunately, I don't think Visual Studio has any debug flags that you could ask it to dump the dependency that caused the rebuild. -- David
