How to control batch build order -> Build All

Question

I have C ++ - a solution with 4 projects and 24 configurations. Projects cryptest, cryptlib, cryptdlland dlltest. And then there is a partial cross product of x86, x64, debug, release, DLL export and DLL import.

There is a not so obvious dependency that I cannot express in the user interface or by manually editing project files. Addiction is everything . DLL related projects are dependent on . cryptest, Release Win32

Visual Studio allows us to create all configurations by choosing the Build menu and then Batch Build ... → Select All → Build . When I run Build All , the first configuration built is:

------ Build started: Project: cryptlib, Configuration: DLL-Import Debug x64 ------
Performing Custom Build Step
 Assembling: c:\Documents and Settings\cryptopp-5.6.3\x64masm.asm
Performing Custom Build Step
Compiling...
pch.cpp
...

As seen above, the mechanism chooses as its first choice. I want the following order: cryptlib, DLL-Import Debug x64

• cryptlib, Release Win32
• cryptest, Release Win32
• Do not worry about the remaining 22 ....

The problem is that I cannot tell Visual Studio that all Win32 and x64 DLL projects are Win32 dependent cryptest.

How can I control the order of Batch Build -> Build All ?

Currently, I have to run Build All twice . The first ends:

========== Build: 20 succeeded, 4 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

The second launch ends with:

========== Build: 4 succeeded, 0 failed, 20 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
