Hey everyone,

So I have a simple problem. My team is coding on lpc1769 and we keep all project file on a git repository. I forgot to put the .cproject in git ignore and now I have a problem.

Some of the team members are developing on Mac and one of them committed the .cproject file on the repository. Now, every Windows users that pulled that version can't compile the project.

Even though I simply have to revert the project version, I was wondering if there was any way of fixing that. I'm not experimented in XML though I understand the concept. If there are any information on the topic, please let me know!

The.cproject file is required. If you look at all the examples provided in lpcxpresso, they all ship a . cproject file. It is portable across all platforms.

So if you have a problem, explain what it is and don't assume something that is not true.

The .cproject is a required and essential component of the project and should always be checked in. The .project and .cproject files are completely portable across hosts. All of the example projects we supply work identically on all hosts.

Of course, it is possible to break portability of the project by, for example, adding absolute path names to the project settings - maybe this is what your Mac users have done?
