nmake - Added Makefile project to Visual Studio 2015 solution is always out of date -


i have rather large solution (80 projects). upgraded vs2015u1 , modified solution include makefile (nmake) project prerequisite other projects. intention makefile should copy third party software project's bin directory make easier bring things testing , packaging.

the problem is, makefile project appears out-of-date. mean dialog popup when hit f5 test.

i've googled till googler sore, including found on stackoverflow. none of solutions listed appear help:

  • there no files listed project, none out of date. put makefile project file, doesn't help.
  • i added fake output file makefile project including in properties, , causing make file create 1 when it's run.
  • i've set build output verbosity diagnostic , have gone through .log file extensively , not found hint of file missing or out-of-date.
  • none of other projects appear rebuild, 1 makefile project. when makefile runs, appears up-to-date files copied.
  • there no .tlog files related new project.
  • doing clean build or rebuild not help, 1 project out of date.

anyone have other ideas?

it beginning appear (although can find no documentation up) makefile type projects out of date.

one possible answer found can create "utility" type project. type of project has pre-build, pre-link, , post-build event. can add make/nmake command in there. there side effects, in case tolerable.

try , see think, report here you've discovered.
