Description
We have some issue with projects getting rebuilt unnecessarily as well as projects not being able to build standalone (i.e. outside a solution). We should fix this to improve dev productivity and avoid wasted dev time.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the build configuration and project dependency handling, then reproduce both unnecessary rebuilds and standalone-build failures. Done means projects rebuild only when required and each project can build outside a solution.
