Project won't recompile all files

[sebes]

Hola,

I'm using VFP 9 SP2.

My project doesn't recompile all file as expected when I check that option. No error message but no work either.

Usually, when Recompiling, it flashes the name of each file but not any more.

Even if I make a change to a file or include/exclude from the project, Recompile all does nothing.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Try to delete the old exe first (or rename it).

If that doesn't make VFP build a new exe, open the debugger and show the debug output window. Then build. Does the debug output window show anything at all?

Bye, Olaf.

You can force it to "flash" the filenames by issuing SET NOTIFY ON before you start the build. That won't necessarily solve your problem, but it might give you more information as to which files it is finding.

Thanks all.

I've found the solution: one file was included by mistake in another project. (It may be in any number of project BUT not included).

Excluding the file from the other project solved the problem.

Files (eg a base class libraries used throughout many projects) may be part of as many other projects as you like and this won't hinder the current active project to compile, would it?

A class in memory may hinder you to compile, but then you'd get an error message. CLEAR ALL before build helps for that matter, or reopening in a fresh foxpro session, which I prefer anyway, before build.

Bye, Olaf.
