Going into the build configuration and telling it to run tests, (I think the checkbox is RUNTESTS, but I don't have my laptop here), causes it to run tests as it is trying to compile the main executable for my project.<br>
<br>The directory structure is:<br>lib1<br>lib2<br>lib3<br>main (location of the main() entry point of the program)<br>testing<br><br>CTEST is being called before it is done compiling my application.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>

</div></div>I have been using parallel builds with visual studio 2005 for over 1<br>
year. It sometimes creates situations like this but since it saves me<br>
10s of minutes per day I deal with the issues. Generally building the<br>
same project a second time fixes any problems and is usually quick<br>
since most stuff builds correctly on the first pas.<br>
