Bug ID: 457790
Summary: Need non-root Makefile for importing new project
Product: kdevelop
Version: 5.8.220403
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Session support
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: aar...@doofus.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have a code base where the Makefile is not in the root project directory, or
for that matter named Makefile.
It would be useful if I could manually assign the project root directory to be
separate from where the base Makefile is located.
While there appears to be an option to change this, it does not seem to work.
Every time I want to select a file, it starts at the Makefile location which
does not include the tree. In addition, it cannot pick up the actual file
locations.
The only way I have found to get around this is to create a symbolic link named
Makefile in the project root directory to the actual Makefile, which breaks
things since the Makefile assumes it's in a different location.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Import a new project where the base Makefile is not in the project root
directory
2. Attempt to work with the project.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
The project is not imported because the Makefile is not in the project root.
None of the .cpp/.h files are picked up.
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect to be able to override where the root folder is when importing from a
Makefile.
