incremental linking is impossible, help please
hi, I have been struggling with this problem for over 2 weeks, and i was told in one of the forums to try here. so here is my problem:
I installed visual c++ 2005 express edition, and it works fine except the fact that it seems it has not incremental linking, it seems that for some reasons, it can't access the .obj files and update them (when I check their modification date, it shows the one from the last REbuild). I even disabled Norton antivirus and Zonealarm, thinking that they might have something to do. I have no clue what to do, and the size of my project makes impossible for me to live with this problem anymore. I can't wait for the whole source to REbulild after each modification !!!
please, do you have any suggestions.
there is no .ilk file, here are the extensions that I have in the debug folder:
.obj
.res
.htm
.manifest
.idb
.dep
and I tried deleting the .idb file, with no luck. all what happens, is that the project REbuilds, even though I just used the build command. but it's the same story, and it doesn't solve the problem.
could it be, that somehow the .obj files are read only, thus they are not accessible for overwriting, are something like that....note however that they are not marked read-only in the properties window.
so here are exactly the folder settings,
I am setting to not hide know extentions, and to show hidden files.
my project name is "Final Engine",
there are two debug forlders indeed, I suppose one is for the solution, and the other is for the project, here are their paths, and what they contain
c:\Programmation\Projects\Final Engine\Debug,
contains, ONLY one file: Final Engine.exe
c:\Programmation\Projects\Final Engine\Final Engine\Debug
contains, a bunch of .obj files + two files with .manifest ext + a .idb file + a .res file + a .dep file
