Every time i try to run my game program in VC++ the compiler tells me that obj files are out of date and need to be compiled. Even if i have just compiled the entire program. This is very fustrating since if make a change to a single file the whole program needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Hi,

if it only happens to that project, try to make a new project. Once in a while projects are getting messed up (the makefiles),
which causes this annoying problem.

Good luck,

Patrick.

Are the file stored on the same machine?
I had that problem when the date/time on the server was different than the local machine.

i got that before ..

i couldnt solve it , so i just made a new project .. and added all the files again ..

i am also wondering ?? . why that happens ??

{ Stating the obvious never helped any situation !! }

I tried creating a new project and still no luck. The problem is happening with every Visual C++ work space on my computer. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling Visual C++. There must be some kind of setting in the system registry that causing it.

Hi,

Here''s a couple of ideas; make sure that you''re system clock is up to date and does not keep resetting every time you restart your PC. Also, and more likely, have you installed an add-in to VC? I found with an automated build count addin I used to use, if the header that it created (which contained the build counter) was included as part of the projec, this problem would occur. This was because every time the build was done, the file was updated, and thus the compiler built the project again. And the file was updated again. Ad infinitum.

Hope that helped,
Andrew.
