If I have compilation errors that end the build process prematurely, mine doesn't do it either. Is it possible there is a project Properties setting that puts a command in the makefile that causes this action? I've looked around and can't find anything that looks like it would cause it.
I finally figured this out. In the project Properties dialog, go to the "C/C++ Build" pane and the "Refresh Policy" tab. My project was listed. I deleted it from the list (it was the only thing listed) and no more post build "refreshing", i.e. completely collapsing every project folder I had open.
