Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to have CMake not fill in the Project Dependencies for a particular target in Visual Studio 7/8?

I realize this seems contrary to common sense, but when you have 40 projects that your target depends on and you're building a static binary it's really annoying to have to deal with Visual's slow target up-to-date check. Often we like to just build library "A" and then build static binary "B" to workaround the slowness (but if the Project Dependencies are filled out for static binary "B" to depend on a bunch of libraries it triggers the up-to-date check on all libraries).

You can always right click on the project and select the build this one only option.

Ah, I don't use VS8 that often and didn't know it had this feature. VS7 unfortunately doesn't have this option.

On a second look, however, I noticed an option in VS7 that I hadn't seen before which should work fine 99% of the time: "Link". The sole exception would be recompilations of the static binary (which are very rare for us).

Thanks for the suggestion.
