    Project rebuilding every time

    Any ideas on this one? I am using the new codeblocks release 10.05, mingw gcc,
    My project rebuilds every time a build is requested, it does not see target as up to date in effect.
    i am
    The object files are in the default locations,
    All project settings are as my other projects which do not have this problem,
    as far as i can see anyway,
    is there anything obvious i might be missing here?

    The project was created using the version 8.05 and i just copied and pasted the project folder back into my codeblocks root directory.

    I am probably going to use a makefile now but i would like to get to the bottom of this.

    It's possible that the files had some wonky read/write permissions when they got copied, which is causing problems with the build system. That's all I can think of - maybe try deleting everything but the project and source files, then rebuilding.

    Possible Causes

    1. Your System Clock is wrong
    2. Incorrect Date/Time stamps on source code files.
    3. permission issue on object files.

    Things to try in addition to above.

    Clean the project to delete the objects files.
