    Hey!
    How can I use VisualGdb in a project that has many files with the same names but in different folders.
    Now I am getting the error
    “C:\Users\User\source\repos\EmbeddedProject7\EmbeddedProject7/Test/test.cpp:5: multiple definition of `TestB(int)’;”
    what can be seen in the attached test project

    Hi,

    This is not supported for Makefile-based projects. Please consider using CMake or MSBuild instead.

    Very sorry,
    In Makefile projects I find the most responsive interface.
    I’m trying to translate into CMake, but it seems to me that his work is more inconvenient and time-consuming.
    MSBuild is not suitable, since the CI/CD build on the machine on Linux.

    Hi,

    If you prefer using GNU Make, you can always patch the Makefile to change its layout and support multiple folders, however it is something for you to setup and test.

    On our side, we have designed the MSBuild-based and CMake-based projects specifically to address numerous shortcomings of GNU Make, and advise using them instead.

    MSBuild is fully compatible with CI/CD – you can simply generate a batch file with all commands: https://visualgdb.com/documentation/projects/msbuild/#standalone (although you would need to programmatically replace absolute paths in it and in the .rsp files).
