I think it's strange that you're a senior developer and have never
dealt with any build system - understanding how build systems work is
an important thing, that's what I learned as soon as I wrote my first
project with more than one file. And I am also worried about the fact
that you have 300 C++ files in _one_ directory, that seems like a big
mess.
If you spend some time learning a build system (qMake, CMake,
whatever), you will soon learn how powerful they are.

Kind regards,
