Hi Jeff
My apologies for this unexplained change.
Let me explain why I made this change and then explain how it now
operates.
When I had all the test projects linked into a single build, testing
MPIR build failures wss a hopelessly inefficient task because I would
change MPIR to correct a bug and then find that all 140 test projects
would rebuild even though I only wanted to build and test one of them
that I know invokes the failure.
To overcoem this problem I hence had to drop all the test project
dependencies and this means that it is no longer possible to build
them all at once.
The way I now do this is to build the test library first and then
select all the rest and issue a build command. This is not ideal but
it is hopeless debugging when all the test projects all rebuild even
when only one is needed :-(
But I should document this change.
It might be possible to have two configurations - one that builds all
of them and one that builds each one alone - I'll look into this.
Brian
