Dependent compiling

[michalkubik]

I have 3 projects in workspace in CVI.

2 of them are generating DLL files for the 3rd one.

When I compile 3rd project I would like to recompile those "DLL" projects where I made changes.

Is that possible?

At this time I have to recompile all projects (even i did not make changes in them ) and it takes too much time. I use the "Build" -> "Batch Build" for it.

this is a scenario where you would need a 'make' utility program (like gnu make, e.g.).
I'm not sure if there is something like that from cvi 8.0 or later.
(I'm still on 7.0 here, so I can't check).
would be very helpful, though

Hi Michal,

When I saw your post, my first though was that you would like to have the ability for one project to be dependent upon another. Thus, you specify what projects need to be built in order for another project to work.  Visual Studio does have a Project Dependencies option but currently LabWindows/CVI does not. I have added your suggestion to our database so we can consider implementing this feature in future versions of LabWindows/CVI. Thanks.

If you have any other ideas or feature requests, feel free to submit a product suggestion.

Best Regards,
