Unity not finding dll references

We are doing a project that uses interfaces and Unity to resolve concrete implementations of classes.

My questions is the following: I need to get my dll's all into the same folder otherwise unity will not be able to resolve the interface etc. So according to me I have a couple of options:

1. Add the projects with the implementations as references and let VS copy the files to the output folder (for some reason this just feels like a hack)
2. Change the build location of all my projects to build to the same folder
3. Create a post build event to copy all the files needed to whereever they need to go

I have implemented to second option but this could lead to files in your build folder that should not be there. I am not a big fan of post build events, so I would like to ask from other people using Unity what they found to be the best solution for them.

Thanks in advance

The first approach sounds like the right one to me. Your project does depend on the implementation libraries; it doesn't express that dependency directly in code, but it requires them, so it seems reasonable to add a reference to them.

This is basically the same situation as where you've got three projects, where project A depends on project B, which depends on project C - you need to explicitly add project C as a reference within project A. Visual Studio doesn't work out transitive dependencies for you (at least it didn't the last time I checked).
