A couple of other building tricks

Run on one thread to clearly see the source of the error

Navigate to the directory for the module that is erroring during a build and run: make -j1

Ignore any build errors

Do this when you know that you can safely ignore them, for example, you need a build of a specific IOC and one you won't be using will be is stopping your build - use with extreme caution! Navigate to the top of the directories and run: make -i

Make Notepad++ Highlight DB Syntax

In Notepad++ Menu -> Language -> Define Your Language Then import the file ...EPICS\editors\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml
