Description Vladimir Kvashin 2009-07-15 14:33:18 UTC 
Consider the situation: user created a makefile-based project (in simple mode), the project was configured, built, code
assistance is configured. Everything is fine.

But then user understands that (s)he didn't specify some configure-script option (usually some --with... option or such).

There should be a simple way to
- rerun configure script
- reconfigure code assistance

Now user has to
- find configure script
- go to properties, set run arguments
- run configure script
- build project
- configure code assistance

That's too much...

Issue is more general.
User have to reconfigure project if (s)he changes:
- tool collection
- local/remote host.
Issie partly fixed in project popup menu item:
"Code Assistance->Reconfigure Project".
Not implemented yet:
- configure code assistance is not called.
Comment 2 soldatov 2012-02-28 12:05:33 UTC 
Also Developer can:
- add/delete files
- add/remove libraries
- add/delete resource files
...
In all same cases Makefile should be regenerated
