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,
