This project is out of date

I am using the following:

Visual D 0.3.36
DMD 2.063.2
Windows 7 64-bit
Visual Studio Premium 2012

I create a new project in Visual Studio and choose D->Console Application. This generates the minimal "Hello D-World" program. I build the solution. Then I hit F5 to debug. It always gives me the error that the project is out of date even when it is not.

I know this can also happen with C++ and there's a way to enable a log to tell you why VS thinks the project is out of date. See here. But this didn't help me for D.

Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas how to avoid it?

Hi,

I don't have VS 2012 Premium, but only the Shell to test, and it works for me.

There is currently no trace output to figure out why a build is triggered, but I also wished there were at times.

Maybe you have some files installed with modification time in the future. I'd check the dmd library and src/import folders. You can find the files dependencies in the *.dep and *.lnkdep files in the intermediate folder.
