VC7.1 : devenv.exe looking for unexpected files when compiling

Hi,

I am using VC7.1 to build a big solution (70 projects, lets say
project A, B, C, ...).

I am using filemon to look at what VC7.1 does while compiling project
A.

And I see that devenv.exe is accessing a lot of files of ALL my
projects (.cpp files, .h files ...) !!!
Then comes cl.exe which compiles project A.
And again devenv.exe looks at a lot of other files in other projects !

Is there a way to stop him looking elsewhere ?

devenv.exe should just start cl.exe with the right parameters like it
is written in the BuildLog.htm file.

That would be true if you were performaing a clean full build. On
incremental builds, the VC++ build system (and practically any other
build systems for that matter) needs to examine time stamps on the
dependencies to determine whether cl.exe needs to be invoked or not.

Thanks,

Has anybody experienced this problem? I have a solution that consists of 6 or 7 projects. Every so often (2 or 3 times a week) when I click Run, everything builds seemingly OK, but then, just when I would expect the app to start, nothing happens, and the task manager shows devenv.exe sitting at 100% cpu, fixed memory (about 127 Megs), forever. The only way out is to kill it from the task list. When this happens, I can usually fix it by...

Hi, Currently, we are porting C++ applications from 32 bit to 64 bit on AIX platform. (The current version of AIX is 5.3 and xlC verison is 8.0). We are able to compile the applications by including the -q64 option in xlC compiler. And we are able to link all these libraries to one of the main applications and generate an executable. SKLoader. But, when we try to run this main executable, we are getting the following errors:

Sometimes, I want to archive or transport a solution. In such cases, I would like to remove all redundant files from the solution, i.e. all compiler output. The documention describes the command line switch /clean (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vxlrfclean.asp). However, when I perform this for a solution, not a single file is removed. I have seen that the process devenv is actually...
