Version: CVS (using KDE KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-3.2 OS: Linux I find myself iterating on a single file or set of files tucked away in a few separate directories in a rather large project. When I am ready to test changes, I: 1. go to the automake manager 2. highlight the directory 3. click the "build" button. It would be nice to have an option, easily bound to an accelerator/shortcut that would build in the current document's directory. This would remove several steps from the build process. Setting the "active target" is quite usable when I am working in a single area, but cumbersome as I move around the project directories. Ideally, building is a one-step process that does not involve my hand leaving the keyboard to navigate the UI with the mouse looking for buttons to click.
Created attachment 20514 [details] annotated screenshot of the bug I want to run make on the makefile. The makefile is in view, and it's name is hightlighted in the file selector. but the menu option "Build/Build Subproject (F7)" picks some other directory. ... perhaps I have to set the 'active target' first.... this is Non-Intuitive The green boxes are the good things, the red boxes are the bad things
we can actually build any file now
