I am using the may 9 build of the .deb distro on ubuntu. I've narrowed the problem that I'm having to a glitch in the settings menu. According to item 2.3 in the codeblocks FAQ, I navigated to settings-compiler and debugger-other, option where I should be able to select work with makefiles in the build method setting. When navigating to this location the item is greyed out(not available). I have set the project's Properties to use a makefile, and checked "This is a custommakefile." Am I missing something?

I think the fact it is grayed out, it because it is not supported at the moment (custom make files), do a search in the forum. I am not 100% sure.
But you propably won't need makefiles, you can use CB project files. For your 'new' projects you can specify to us the avr compiler instead of (regular)gcc.
You just need to make CB aware of that avr-compiler. Since it is also a GCC variant, probably all the gcc switches/options might work.
Go to the "compiler and debugger" settings, make sure the GCC is selected, and press the copy button (we are creating a new compiler set), give it a name (eg : avr), then make sure this "avr" is selected and go to the "programs" tab, and change the "normal gcc" executables with your "avr" ones, do this by first setting your programs dir (the one containing the bin directory).
It is probably as simple as that ;-)
