Re: Toplevel link-only project does not get linked during build

Well, Visual Studio is not without bugs so that could be happening.
Usually, when I've had similar problems it's because I copied a project file
from another and renamed it or did something similar to get VS confused (it
used to have it's own numeric ID for the project that got duplicated so two
or more projects would look like the same one).

Thanks for the response, Tom. Forcing the link in a post-build step would
solve the problem, but is quite inconvenient to set up. About the linker
thinking the files are up to date: I don't think so. The behavior is the
same, even in the initial build when none of the output files even exist.
I'd
tend to say I'm simply seeing buggy behavior in Visual Studio. A logical
explanation for the phenomenon eludes me so far.

to be recreated in a pre-build step.
