Occasional firmware developer woes

It's quite some work keeping the repos up to date and in the right branch..

i share your pain, but tell myself it'll get better after 3.01 is stable.

I had exactly that problem. I solved it by deleting the .mk file that had that rule in it, forcing Eclipse to recreate it.

A "build clean" and another attempt to build gave another error:

23:29:55 **** Incremental Build of configuration DuetM_RTOS for project RepRapFirmware ****
make -j16 all
make: *** No rule to make target 'src/GPIO/GpioPorts.o', needed by 'DuetMaestroFirmware.elf'. Stop.

23:29:56 Build Failed. 1 errors, 0 warnings. (took 1s.23ms)

Eclipse and the RRF build system is very fragile and frustrating.

I avoid to update my local repo, each time I get these seemingly random errors.

I'll probably sort it out. Just venting a bit
