I am using the Makefile project in Visual Studio 2012 Express, just fine. However, regardless of the build command you specify, Visual Studio always creates an “obj” folder that contains the empty subfolders obj \ Win32 \ Debug and obj \ Win32 \ Release.
To reproduce the problem, simply create a "Visual C ++ - General - Makefile Project" and use a DOS command such as "dir" on the build command line. Once you build, an empty obj \ Win32 \ Debug folder will appear.
I can just skip them in the Mercurial ignore file, but it would be nice to find a fix. Does anyone know how to make Visual Studio not create these empty folders?
