Build order in multi-project Workspace?

[micc2]

I am trying to create a Master Build comprising many separate projects.
I know I can use a batch Makefile, but I thought it would be easier to create a single "MasterBuild" project and add all the projects (via "Insert project into workspace").

However, now that I have done this, I cannot figure out a way to control the order of the build. I want to build the utility projects (which every other project relies on) first.

I know I can set up Project Dependencies, but when I do this the utility projects are rebuilt for every new project build.

Is it possible to specify the order of builds, or do I just need to use a BATCH file?

Hmmm, then something's fishy in your configuration because only what need to be rebuilt should be rebuilt.

How is stuff dependant on the utility projects?
If not already (but then it should actually work), I suggest you let the utility project produre .lib's you link in.

That way you they will only be rebuilt if you change something in them, and dependant projects will be rebuilt accordingly.

Thanks PerFnurt, I've double-checked and I was wrong in my assumptions. It does not re-build dependant projects after all. Sorry for wasting your time........
