This is only an annoying issue, but still.
I have a VS2015 driver Solutions that includes a “package” project.
This project is always getting built even when nothing happens. Probably something (file?) is missing but I cannot find what.
Here is the relevant part from the Log file:
**************************************************************************** 1>Target “ResolveReferences” in file “C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets” from project “C:\Users\Shaul\Documents\GitHubVisualStudio\vJoy\2.1.6\vJoy-Master\driver\Package\Package.vcxproj” (target “Build” depends on it):
