VS12 libMinHook project always rebuilds

[TsudaKageyu]

Hi, sorry for being late.
This doesn't reproduce on my side. Possibly, it may depend on the minor version of Visual Studio.
The version info of my VS is like:
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2013 Version 12.0.31101.00 Update 4

I use Community as well. I think I do a clear install of W10 after its premiere so I reinstall VS2013 and recheck this. But this issue was happing to me from a long time.

[TsudaKageyu]

I see. Please give me some time to check it. Thanks.

Visual Studio Community 2013 Update 5 was released a few days ago. blogs.msdn.com
Can you try it?

I also have same problem using Visual Studio 2013 Premium update 5.
If I change Debug Information Format to Program Database(/Zi), It works well.

Visual Studio 2010 Professional(VC10) in same environment has no problems.

Sorry for delay, but I forgot about this issue ... I upgraded (clean install) my PC to Windows 10 Pro and installed Visual Studio Community 2013 Update 5 from iso. Problem persisted - VS2013 always rebuild project when Debug Information Format is None. This not only affect minhook but all project, it seems to be bug in MSBUILD.

Hey, I just came across this thread while researching this problem in my own project, I thought I would share what I learned, in case you're still having problems with this.
I managed get this to work by:

1. Under Project Properties > Configuration Properties > Linker > Debugging, set the Generate Debug Info flag to No and set the Generate Program Database File field to "$(OutDir)$(TargetName).pdb".
2. Under Project Properties > Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Output Files, set the Program Database File Name field to "$(OutDir)$(TargetName).pdb". By default, this is set to "$(IntDir)vc$(PlatformToolsetVersion).pdb", for some reason. It appears this should be set to same value as the other field for the build process to behave correctly.

Hope this helps.

Hi Víctor, thanks for your report.
I'm going to release the next version tomorrow, so I have no time to thoroughly test your method before I will release it.
I will check it after v1.3 will be released.

Correction: "Generate Debug Info" should be set to "Yes" if the other fields are set to anything other than an empty string.
