Sorry that I can't solve your immediate problem but I hope to discuss
some general solution which would suit you and me and perhaps others.
Some other people who use recursive make in each subfolder also
expressed a desire to have their own repeating set of targets in each
folder. Seems to be somewhat recurring issue. I was thinking that
perhaps those can be defined in a new tab (Make Targets) in
Preferences/New CDT Project Wizard/Makefile Project and Make Targets
View could display them in addition to user-made targets. Do you think
it's a good idea? In any case, thanks for sharing your workflow and
ideas and solutions, I really appreciate that.
