just wow, from the snippet you linked:

  *  - right-click ssh.c in the FileView
  *  - click Settings
  *  - select the C/C++ tab and the General category
  *  - under `Debug info:', select anything _other_ than `Program
  *    Database for Edit and Continue'.

Right, so in order to compile the thing you need to click "something other than". That doesn't sound deterministic.
