Description nagytam 2003-06-20 14:41:47 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The current implementation offers only a menu to build custom targets in the "custom makefile" project.

Expected behaviour would be to allow to define another
default target as well, instead of 'all'.

Project Options | Build

Set default target: 
[ all ] Or [ my_favourite_target_to_build ]

This would allow to use makefiles with several targets much more conviniently, instead of selecting every time from the menu...

Or modify the menu items to select a default target, and then "Build" would use 
the selected target instead of "all"

These features are present in the autotools (atomake Manager) based projects.
Consider switching to autotools.

You realy should consider providing this functionality. There are lots of reasons to use the custom makefiles instead of your automake manager. For instance: a project accessed by different people using different IDEs, historical grown projects, crossplatform projects with a windows side, that don't like to be forced to use unix type shells ...

You can now configure the default make target in the projet options -> build options dialog
