Title: Dependencies for ASM files.
Post by: xanatose on September 12, 2009, 11:54:38 PM
Is there a way to tell visual studio to re compile (assemble) a .asm file every time its include changes. If not, its there a way to manually tell it to compile a file every time another one changes?

in the old days, we used a program called MAKE.EXE
you made a .MAK file that had the includes, etc and each time, it checked those files for updates
i dunno if recent versions of masm have that, but 5.10 did (i have the exe if you like)

When i've used visual studio I've never been ablr to find a way without
using the build all {entire project} option

If I'm not mistaken, if you include the .inc file into a Visual Studio project, and the file changes, it should trigger a prompt to rebuild the entire project.
