force project re-build
« on: July 10, 2012, 02:37:19 PM »
How do you force SlickEdit to completely re-build a project even it it determines that the project is up-to-date?

Thank you,
Chuck Crisler

Is this a SlickEdit project using our internal build system?  Build>Rebuild should do it in that case.

Yes it is, though I built the program from the command line initially. The Build/Rebuild menu option is disabled.

Is there a rebuild command (Project> Project Properties> Tools tab)?

Here it is (I hope). I am new to SE and may/probably have done something stupid. Thank you for your attention and help.

The Rebuild commands are blank for both configurations.  So that is why the menu items are disabled.

If you use our build system, I would expect to see calls to our vsbuild project in here, and I do not.  I can tell you used our wizard to set up the project.  How did you set it up?

I built it using the wizard and a 'user-maintained' make file. It is a fairly large, existing project.

Ah, well if you use "user maintained" we just set up to call make.

In the Tools tab of the Project Properties dialog, set Rebuild to your makefile's rebuild command (probably something like "make rebuild").  If you do not have one, set the Clean command.
