How to tell eclipse that my makefile is in a subdirectory? [message #64549]

Eclipse CDT assumes the makefile to be named makefile and to be found in the
root directory of the project. How can I tell adjust eclipse in a way that
allows me to have the makefile in a subdirectory and that it has a different
name?

Thanks
Markus

I am not sure if there is a better way to do this, but I just put a
basic makefile in the project root that calls my makefiles in the subdirs.

all: sources

sources:
$(MAKE) -C src

Hopefull that should work.

hi,
you can use subdir's makefile after you specified the following in
current makefile:
****************************
all install clean:
make -C src/appdir $@
****************************

Sounds as an acceptable workaround, but it would really be more cool to have
the possibility in CDT to just type in the path and name of the makefile. Is
there a CDT wishlist somewhere...? :-)

Have Fun

Hi,

I think that in an older Eclipse version (maybe even 1.0) I was able
to select any subdir of the project and select Build in the context
menu to run the makefile in that directory. But memory fades and it's
true that this functionality has gone. Does somebody know anything
about this?

bye,
OK.

How? If I try it now it always tries to run make in the projects root
dir. Could this be QNX specific - I'm using QNX Momentics 6.2.1? (It's
saying Eclipse 2.0.2)

Would be very interested in this, bye,
OK.
