Engine Compiling

After changing a couple of lines in Player.cpp and Player.h to test ways of overriding run animation with other animations I accidentally hit Clean Solution, I didn't think much of it and hit rebuild, now I am getting this error 790 times I know it has to do with linking somehow, but I am not very skilled with C++ coding so I am unsure of how to go about fixing it:
pretty much an error for each cpp file in my engine folder :/

My debug compiles without a problem and before I hit clean solution or whatever I did, it was compiling just fine, thanks in advanced.

Hmm I tried closing and reopening, and even restarted my computer, and to no success, I did notice that my King's Regin DLL folder in VC2k8.Rlease.Win32 had none of the SBR Files in it, so I copied the files from my VC2k8.Debug.Win32/King's Reign DLL Folder and pasted them into my Rlease so now all of the files are inside the folder but when I hit build my C++ VS 2008 just freezes lol, I might just port my game into the beta version of t3d, I had started making it in alpha. But I am going to keep looking for a solution rather than taking the easy way, in case this happens in the future.

Have you tried just completely removing the VC2k8.Debug and release folders, then doing another complete build? That’s worked for me before today also...

Ahhh, I figured it out, my main VC++ Minimum Rebuild Dependency File (king's reign dll.ibd) had somehow gotten corrupted, I removed it from my folder and now is rebuilding my engine as we speak :)

EDIT: Spending a few min looking round there are a few posts floating round on the net with similar errors, it seems to be VS will lock a file while it’s being compiled or whatever, and then doesn’t unlock it properly after (hence the “cannot open” error)
So by manually deleting it, it’s sorting the problem out, I have the latest service pack installed for VS (on x64 7) but it’s kind of random when it happens, mostly it happens if I stop a build part way through then try to re-build…

If you or anyone ever figures it out, post back here and I will do the same, it’s a weird one ;)EDIT: Spending a few min looking round there are a few posts floating round on the net with similar errors, it seems to be VS will lock a file while it’s being compiled or whatever, and then doesn’t unlock it properly after (hence the “cannot open” error)

No clue as to why this happens though…
