  • Can anyone explain....

    I have an ongoing Pi Pico -W project. Built using the C SDK
    It has built successfully before but I haven't touched the files since
    March.

    Yesterday I needed to modify the code.

    It wouldn't build. Complained about a missing header file at a location
    that contained that header file.

    I emptied the build directory and ran Cmake.

    That completed, but make failed again with a different error.

    I then ran cmake again and this time the file built successfully.

    I mean as with most things cmake one expects irrational behaviour but seriously?

    It helps to copy and paste the actual error message sequence. Remember the saying ?many eyes make all bugs shallow?.

    Which was ... ?

    Somehow I don?t think you ran it quite the same way each time ...
