Summary:
When the PWB extension supplied with the Microsoft Source Profiler
version 1.0 or 1.2 is loaded into the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB),
version 1.0 or 2.0, PWB may unexpectedly generate a message indicating
that build options have changed whenever a build is attempted.
More Information:
This problem occurs after loading either the real-mode (PWBPROF.MXT)
or protected-mode (PWBPROF.PXT) Profiler extension. If a program list
is set and you select Build from the Make menu, PWB generates the
following message:
Build Information has changed
Do you want to rebuild everything?
If you select Yes, PWB will rebuild the entire project, even though
nothing has actually changed that you did not explicitly modify.
Choosing No will rebuild only the modified components that you
changed.
The problem occurs because the Profiler extension is rewriting parts
of the .MAK file when the program list is loaded, even though it is
not necessary. Because the makefile has been updated, PWB determines
that some build information has changed and so the above error message
is generated. The Profiler extension is not actually altering any of
the build information, so responding No to the message box is safe
(that is, you still get a completely up-to-date build).
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Source Profiler
version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
