Urxae: That gives me a GREAT idea! How about adding, besides "generate makefile", a "generate autotools files"?

I was thinking after I posted that: "that might be an idea for a plugin, though"...

hehe... no problem, looks intact except for the 'edited by rickg22' part :).

Not that I personally mind, I use C::B itself to compile anyway.
Just my conclusions drawn from the forum spamming generated whenever files are added to the project...
Feel free to consider it motivation to automate this through a plugin or C::B change though ;). Or perhaps to make it part of the big compiler plugin overhaul you guys have planned post-1.0 if that'll work out better.
