Re: [GD-Windows] VC++ lag

[brian s. <pud...@po...>]

That's because for MS's large scale projects they don't use workspaces, 
and they do use something that looks a whole lot like make.  It's called 
NT Build, and you can get it with the DDK.  With an external build 
utility, VC can just be the debugger and you don't have to worry about 
its internal dependency checker being slow.

We use a makefile-type solution here on a much smaller-scale project, 
and it works great - I would never go back to workspaces for any real 
project.
