Having trouble compiling shared code
I am working with one other engineer on a project. He will send me his entire directory where the project files are stored. I copy those files into identically named directory structure on my computer so I don't need to change the include paths. Sometimes I am able to compile them, sometimes I get hundreds of compile errors. Eventually, the IDE will just compile them correctly. I have no idea what is changing or why it suddenly works. I am thinking that the way we are sharing files causes something to think it is compiled correctly and is current, but it isn't and I get errors and eventually I tinker with it enough that it decides it needs to recompile the file that isn't working. Cleaning, refreshing, update with modified files doesn't work.
Here's the tail end of the errors (I didn't think every needed to see all 200; it seems to be mostly if not exclusive the HAL includes from what I can tell)
