Title: Compiling in VS2017 creates folder outside project folder
Post by: Yarn on March 15, 2017, 01:40:17 am

I installed Visual Studio 2017 recently and noticed that whenever I compile FSO, a folder named either Win32 or x64 (depending on what architecture the project was created for) is created just outside the project folder. The folder's structure resembles that of the identically named folder that gets created within the project folder, though the files are different.

I'm pretty sure this never happened with Visual Studio 2015.

Are you using the solution files or VS2017's built-in CMAKE support?

I'm using CMake 3.7.2 to make the solution (for VS2017, of course) and then opening that in Visual Studio 2017.
