c++incremental-linking

C++: LINK : debug\XXXXX.exe not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link

Using visual studio 2008 SP1,
This line:

LINK : debug\XXXXX.exe not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link

appears every single time I compile the project, no matter how small a change I make.
What could be the reasons for that?

Solution

  • So it turns out that the problem fixes it self if I add /INCREMENTAL to the linker command line. This in spite the fact that the default behavior according to the docs is to enable incremental linking.

    Strange.
