Any reason why projects do not have other projects as references? about bond HOT 5 CLOSED

If you build the cs.sln solution than everything builds in one go, whether you use Visual Studio, msbuild or xbuild. Am I missing something here?

You need a couple of Ctrl-Shift-B in VS2015 to make it compile. Project references modify the build dependencies and therefore the build order inside Visual Studio. As such a dependency does not exist because the hint is based on the binary output not the project itself those things can happen.

If there is no reason behind the missing link, I will issue a PR for it ( pretty simple to fix )

There was a reason: an internal build system we used didn't work correctly with project dependencies. We might not care about it anymore but I would have to verify.

However Build Solution command absolutely should rebuild all the projects in the right order in one go. I have just tested it on a freshly cloned repo. Could you send logs from a case that doesn't rebuild everything the first time?

Cannot repro it anymore :(

I don't know if this is what you've originally encountered, however if you are building on a network behind a proxy and forget to set HTTP_PROXY environment variable then cabal may fail during Bond compiler build because it can't download Haskell packages. It probably depends on the network configuration but at least in our setup the outgoing connections cabal makes aren't terminated immediately so the result could be that the build eventually succeeded after trying many times.
