I have a problem when I am building in Visual Studio 10. There is a circular dependency towards another project's exe-file (which I found using DebugView) that makes large parts of the solution rebuild everytime. This dependency is unnecessary and I have no idea why it is present.

My problem is that I cannot find where it is defined, and therefore cannot fix the problem. I have searched for the name of the exe-file in the .vcxproj but it is not present (and I have not find it anywhere in the projects properties in VS10's GUI either). I made a search for the name of the exe-fil in explorer in all the solution's files but could not find it making a dependency there either.

The dependency is probably hidden in a variable somewhere, but how can I find it?

(I have also looked through the External Dependency folder in the project, but there was only header and inl files there).

Best regards
Josef
