Description antoniocs 2016-05-19 21:28:20 UTC

It would be nice to have a dropdown containing all the recipes of a custom Makefile.

I normally use custom makefiles and have to resort to either hard coding the recipe I want in an option somewhere in netbeans or just using the command line.

It would be much easier if Netbeans would parse the makefile and provide the recipes in the makefile.

Example:

-- Makefile --

CFLAGS=-std=c11 -Wall -Werror -g
LDFLAGS=
LDLIBS=`pkg-config --libs --cflags sdl2 SDL2_ttf`
CC=gcc

drawing_priority: drawing_priority.c
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $^ $(LDLIBS)
	
fonts: fonts.c
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $^ $(LDLIBS)


In netbeans there would be a dropdown with the options:

- drawing_priority
- fonts

Netbeans parses Makefiles and provides it's structure in Navigator window (Ctrl+7)
Navigator is searchable (just start typing when focus in navigator) and clickable. 

Btw, if you select makefile in project (ctrl+shift+1) or files (ctrl+shift+2) views then in context menu you can use Run Target.

Additionally you can configure "Send To"  (available in editor's context menu) and add any extra action for your makefile file
