How to fix .pch file missing on build?

Question

When I build my c++ solution in Visual Studio it complains that the xxxxx.pch file is missing. Is there a setting I am missing to get the pre-compiled headers back?

Answer 1

Fix:

1. Make sure you have xxxxx.cpp in your project

2. Compile xxxxx.cpp with /Yc flag (Create Precompiled Header)
   (right click on xxxxx.cpp -> properties -> Precompiled Headers -> create)

3. Compile all other files with /Yu flag (Use Precompiled Header)
   (right click on project -> properties -> Precompiled Headers -> use)
