Weird EVC++ Behaviour

[gevans2000]

I have been happilly using EVC++ for a few months now. Since a couple of weeks ago during one session of working on my current project EVC has been recompiling all my project files every time I change something. I am sure that before if I modified something in one file then it would just recompile that one and any that depend on it - not every file in the project. i.e It's like it's doing a "Rebuild All" every time rather than just a "Build".

I'm thinking I might have inadvertantly changed a setting in my project - could anyone possibly shed any light on this??

Many thanks.

I had the exact same problem with VC++6.0 a few weeks ago, and I'd bet good money it's the exact same thing with eVC++...



I used the utility I mention there and it did the trick perfectly.

This doesn't have anything to do with this problem, but you guys might find it interesting.

Back in 1997 with Windows CE 1.0, you had to own VC++ 5.0, and use an add-on (that you also had to buy) to create Windows CE 1.0 apps. When CE 2.0 came out you had to upgrade to VC++ 6.0, and buy the CE 2.0 add-on for that. Anyway, the CE 2.0 extension to VC++ caused VC++ to always recompile every file for every build, even when NOT building for CE 2.0. Back in 1998 with a 133 MHz laptop that was a huge deal. MS finally got it right with CE 3.0 when they split CE development off into eVC++ and made it free.
