How do I trace my compliation order? (So that I may re-order it) My issue: I'm running Visual Studio 2012 writing a C++ application. I binded a scripting system, Lua, to my project using <a href="http://www.rasterbar.com/products/luabind/docs.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LuaBind</a> LuaBind hides away Lua stuff and figures out how to bind it to the Lua Language (or some magic) I can take an object, call a function on it, and pass in a C++ object to be given to the lua script function <pre><code>// ScriptComponent.h class ScriptComponent : public Component { public: virtual void Initialize(); virtual void Update(); protected: luabind::object luaDataTable; Entity* mOwner; </code></pre> - <pre><code>// ScriptComponent.cpp void ScriptComponent::Initialize() { luabind::object compiledScript; luaL_loadfile(L, "myScript.lua"); luabind::object compiledScript(luabind::from_stack(L, -1)); luaDataTable = compiledScript(); lua_pop(L, 1); } void ScriptComponent::Update() { luaDataTable["run"](mOwner); // Compiler breaks here. // Note: if I remove mOwner from the mix (and in the script file) everything works and runs fine. } </code></pre> Cool! But to get this to work, luabind needs to know what mOwner (Entity*) is and have ti defined. So, I define it in a different file: <pre><code>// GameScriptingSystem.cpp using namespace luabind; module(inLuaState) [ class_<GameObject>("GameObject"), class_<Entity, bases<GameObject> >("Entity") .def("DebugGetName", &Entity::DebugGetName) ]; </code></pre> The flow looks something like this: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/h4S3m.png" alt="enter image description here"> The result: <blockquote> error C2504: 'Entity' : base class undefined </blockquote> Full error as requested: <pre><code>... 2> Component.cpp 2> ScriptComponent.cpp 2>boost/type_traits/is_polymorphic.hpp(46):

</code></pre> As far as I can tell, its due to the build order. My best guess is that Luabind does all this stuff at compiletime, and when I look at the compilation first, ScriptComponent is compiled first, GameScriptSystem is compiled after. When ScriptComponent builds, alll the luabind errors through. THEN after GameScriptSystem builds (which defines all the stuff LuaBind is complaining about) So: <ul> <li>How do I track my build order? See what files are triggering build of others, so that I may re-arrange it to my liking? (its a big project, its not as easy as looking at it for 2 seconds)</li> <li>If you know luabind, am I right about this being the issue?</li> </ul> Other data: <pre><code>-- myScript.lua local Cat = {} local ticks = 0 function Cat.run(entity) ticks = ticks + 1 LOG(tostring(ticks)) LOG(entity:DebugGetName()) end return Cat </code></pre>

2. COWell okay, I tried minimizing it to keep it readable. I added more of the files I use, as well as the entire error, and a diagram of my strucutre, and the cat script

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
