I have a cross-language (C++ <-> FORTRAN) cyclic dependency that would be too much of a pain to eradicate, so I live with it. It only requires an occasional /FORCE with no linker dependencies on my C++ library. I have been doing this manually as required, but the new version of our product has eight configurations (and possibly more in future) and it is becoming more of a pain.

Is there any easy way to (on demand) switch to my forced build?

What I have tried:

I could create 'Forced' configurations for each build in the VS configuration manager, or 'Forced' copies of my project(s). However, both these approaches are a bit of a maintenance headache - changes to the project have to be spread to all configurations / project copies.

The best way of dealing with that will Building on the Command Line. It is a big chunk to learn, but if you have really 8 configurations it will a "mighty tool" and pay of when you get your batches running.

Good luck. ;-)
