In theory this would just require the custom task that generates the bal.wixlib
to depend on all the referenced files in the lib. (Sounds a bit circular to
me...)
Is this worthy of filing a bug?

Getting the incremental build correct for the extensions has been challenging.
It's a bit better than WiX v3.6. Would not surprise me if there are still bugs
in it though. I've not had time to try and track them all down yet.

happens with other extensions but haven’t been able to verify that.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Broken incremental build
Ok, I must be overlooking something simple here. I have Wix 3.8 building from
the command line. I’ve made some tweaks to WixStdBA, and I am attempting to
validate the changes. (Using the VS 2010 Command prompt on Win 7 x64. To get
it to build after loading I need to unset Platform.)
When I change WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp, and then from the wix
source root I invoke:
“msbuild wix.proj /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release”
I see that the binary (wixstdba.dll) is updated however the bal.wixlib which I
believe comes from “.\src\ext\BalExtension\wixlib\BalExtension.wixproj” is not.
Even if I change one of the files in the project (ex: wixstdba_platform.wxi)
and rebuild, I am still not seeing the bal.wixlib update. I also tried
changing WixBalExtension\BalCompiler.cs, but again the bal.wixlib is not
updated.
This is causing me to not get my updated wixstdba.dll. Interestingly enough,
if I add:
<Payload SourceFile="…\wix\build\ship\x86\WixStdBA.dll" />
then my BA is included.
I can provide the interesting bits of the MSBuild log, if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
Jacob
