It would appear that Microsoft has changed Visual Studio moving to the 2010
edition such that our macro-solution-reloading magic no longer works
properly. I have not yet found a way around this: we used to be able to
cancel the build that was in progress, reload stuff, and then start another
build in VS 2008 and earlier. It does not appear possible with VS 2010.

I know I'll be heartily flamed for even suggesting this, but .... the way I
work with VS is to shut it down (or at least close the solution file), run
cmake or cmake-gui by hand outside of Visual Studio, and then open up the
sln file again with VS. This avoids the problem you're reporting, but I
realize it is not ideal.

I welcome any suggestions for how to get this stuff to work again with VS
2010. I'm stumped on it...


Thanks,
David
