Cannot find module module_spi_master

[hybridalienrob]

I'm really struggling to understand how modules are imported / included in project builds, particularly when an existing project is imported (e.g because I'm collaborating with a colleague)

Importing the SPI master lib into a NEW project works ok

But.. importing the SPI master lib into an existing project does not. I can see the module project in my workspace and it is listed and enabled in the makefile "Used Modules" section when opened my the XMOS App makefile editor, but when I try and compile the project, all I get is..

**** Build of configuration Debug for project StartkitPinOscTest ****
 
xmake CONFIG=Debug all 
C:/Program Files (x86)/XMOS/xTIMEcomposer/Community_13.2.0/build/xcommon/module_xcommon/build/../build/Makefile.common1:510: *** Cannot find module `module_spi_master'.  Stop.
xmake: *** [bin/Debug/StartkitPinOscTest_Debug.xe] Error 2
 
This is really frustrating and also I don't understand why it can't see the module source.
 
Other modules, which I've imported from the community tab (module_capacitive_sensing, module_startkit_gpio) are build and linked as expected although these don't actually exist in my workspace folder.

I've rebuild a simple example workspace that demonstrates this problem by creating a simple project, importing the spi_master module into the workspace via the softip tab. I've selected it in the used modules section of the makefile but the test project "YetAnotherAttempt" doesn't build.

I would have thought I could add the module_spi_master folder to the include directories but the xmos makefile editor doesn't allow selection of any folder outside the project folder.
