Project always rebuilds whenever I run it [message #737618]

I have 2 C projects, one is a static library and the other an executable.
Whenever I try to run the executable it insists on rebuilding both the
library and the executable every time even though I have not touched the
code.

Why is this happening and how do I get it to run without rebuilding every
time?

I am using Eclipse 3.7.1 on Windows 7 x64 with MinGW.

Jarrick,

Just a stab in the dark, but if your projects use include files whose timestamps are in the future, you might see this.

For example, if your clock is off and says it's 2009 and you are #including string.h with a timestamp in 2011, perhaps you will see this behavior.

Thanks but I don't think that's the cause in this case.

Turn off "Build before launching" in Preferences->Run/Debug/Launching

That option is actually "Build (if required) before launching". In my case
the build is not required so I am not sure why I would need to turn this
off. Any thoughts?
