Question

I have a C++ solution in Visual Studio (2012 Express) containing 15 projects.

1 is defined as the main project (the one that is first built as the whole solution is built).

All the 15 projects have 2 same external dependencies. I mean I have to add the 2 same folders to Project Properties > Configuration Properties > VC++ Directories.

This is a bit boring to do this manually.

Is there a way to add the required dependencies only to the main project and to tell VC11 to replicate this configuration to the other 14 projects in my solution?

Answer 1

You select multiple nodes – see this pic:

right click and select properties….

N.B. Forgot in my original answer – don’t forget to select the correct Configs (Or all configs)
