Exact steps to reproduce this, please?

1. Use some method of sharing a folder on both Windows and Linux. I use Virtual Box and shared a folder plus added a symbolic link to Linux. Have the project and source files in that link. (obvious but just to be complete).
2. On Linux, select Settings/Compiler/#defines and add something like TEST
3. Close C::B on Linux
4. Open C::B on Windows and select the same project
5. Select Settings/Compiler/#defines and notice that TEST is not there.

They are suggest using the project settings NOT the global compiler setting!

Not fully, for example Settings/Compiler/#defines do not seem to be saved there. I changed it on Linux, closed C::B on Linux, opened it on Windows and the project was not changed. Also Windows did not show a new date on the project.

Then to be sure I'm using the same project on both, I added a function to the Linux side, closed the project and it showed up on the Windows side.

You should read more exactly !
Per project means per project and not global compiler settings.
There are only a few cases,where it makes sense to touch the global compiler settings, and this will (obviously) be not shareable.

eddyq:
Thanks, I only saw "Compiler" under Settings. Reading the link above, I can now see there are the same settings I want if I right click on Project.

Yup, I should have read more carefully.
