           Summary: support for custom build tools (jam, ant, scons, ...
                    instead of make)
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: MatzeBraun at gmx.de


Version:           3.0rc4 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1a)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:          Linux

Feature Request:
kdevelop only works with make-like tools at the moment. This is primarily because of kdevelop assumes all make tools use the same commandline switches like make (-k -j2), or makes assumption about targetnames like "all" or "clean". It would be nice to be able to customize this part of kdevelop so that you can at least specify own commands for cleaning, rebuilding all and incremental rebuilding. (Example "jam -dax clean" would be a command to clean all objects in a jam based build.) This should be fairly simple to implement I assume.

Following some advanced Whishlist (dreaming about future features is always good :)
-Having plugins for the build which are able to add/remove files/projects/packages to the build. Along with possibilities to compile only parts of the project...
