I have a visual studio solution with a number of projects.
Configuration manager is carefully configured to build all projects except one ( the one skipped is a test project ). After building solution in command-line i got following:
"building XXX Debug|x64"
—— Skipped Build: Project: AAA ——
—— Skipped Build: Project: BBB, Configuration: Debug Win32 ——
Project not selected to build for this solution configuration
—— Build started: Project: CCC, Configuration: YYY Debug ia64 ——
< here goes build >
As you can see, project BBB is skipped becouse it is not selected in configuration manager, project CCC and rest build ok and project AAA is skipped with NO REASON GIVEN. Anyone knows why visual studio may skip project build without any reason? All configuration names ( XXX, YYY Debug, Debug ) and platforms ( x64 / Win32 / ia64 ) are correctly configured in configuration manager.
Best Answer
Is project AAA selected for configuration Debug|x64 ?
Also I had the same situation when freshly downloaded solution (without .soa file) had the default configuration to Itanium, so all system without its support were skipping all solution projects to build. Properly build was starting only after selecting win32 manually.
