           Summary: "No makefile in this directory" detection is too
                    conservative.
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: kuba at mareimbrium.org


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 
OS:          Linux

The "There's no makefile in this directory" popup invoked from Project/Build isn't too intelligent if the make command has the file argument set, say as in make -f Makefile.linux

The "missing makefile" detection should look for "-f" argument to make and either take the name of the file from make's command line as specified in the Project/Build dialog.

The check should either be removed, or fixed.

Workaround: touch Makefile in correct directory, but that's really a long shot :)
