Multiple Configurations for Makefile Projects [message #192580]

Is it possible with CDT 4.0 to have multiple build configurations for
"Makefile" projects. All I see is the "Default" configuration and I am
not seeing an obvious way to add another.

Background: I am using cmake to manage my makefiles and I have both a
Release and Debug Directories for building. Each Directory has its own
Makefile. So I was wondering if I can have 2 configurations in my
Makefile project, one that points make to Debug and one that points
Make to Release.

Thanks for any Help

Why not just add more make targets? Open up the Make Target view and
create as many targets as you want?

CMake (www.cmake.org) actually generates the makefiles so adding
anything to the makefile will get destroyed the next time the makefiles
are generated.

Thanks

Using CMake should not be a problem. I use autotools and started my
configure script with different options in different build directories:
$ mkdir debug && cd debug/ && ../configure CXXFLAGS="-g -O0"

After this I added my various Makefile targets to Make Target view and am
now able to call "make all" for both debug und release mode.
