additional dependencies in MSVS C++ project

[gustavo54]

I have a large C++ project that has three minor additional dependencies: Fortran, flex and bison. The fortran code is very stable, I have the library, and I am not concerned about it. However, the flex and bison dependencies change, and it would be convenient to not have to have a separate MSYS window open to process them. Is there any way to tell Visual Studio (2008) to include these dependencies?

Forgive me if this is an FAQor is in the wrong forum -- I am new here.

Thanks a million

There are pre/post build event steps that you can insert instructions that must be done before/after the project build.

If it's more complicated and needs a project of its own, create a Makefile project.
