Attempt at improving BuildInstructions.md
-
Hi,
I just submitted a pull request to improve BuildInstructions.md a bit and am looking forward to further improvement suggestions. The goal was to make some things more explicit for people trying to get started with building and changing RRF. -
@oliof Spotted some typos and sent suggestions to your PR.

Thanks, committed.

btw in the process of setting up new windows build env, and recalled reading this
dc42 said in Project Dir Visibility Duet3_V06:
Which version of Eclipse C++ are you using? I recently upgraded to 2020-06.
I find that some versions of Eclipse occasionally grey out the wrong folder after changing configurations. Changing to a different configuration and back again normally fixes it.
not sure if that should be reflected in the build instructions or not though
edit; i also think step12 could perhaps benefit from specifying how to import the project. "File -> Import -> General -> Existing Project into Workspace" as it wasn't immediately clear to me the first time. but i believe it was specified in some version of the instructions.
screenshots if you feel like adding that, but once what type of import to be used is specified i think that would suffice

Even shorter is
File -> Open Projects from File System...
as all of these GitHub repositories are already eclipse projects.
