Can't change build method to makefiles

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

since a few days i'm trying to change the build method to "use makefiles", but i can't because the "build method"-option is disabled.
I'm using C::B 8.02 and Ubuntu 8.04 and i've installed gnu make.

Any idea how i can solve this problem?

I have the exactly the same problem. I want to use a custom makefile but the option you are supposed to activate isn't even there.

Jenna:
Go to the first tab of your projects properties and check the "This is a custom Makefile" checkbox.
Be sure that the name of the makefile is spelled correctly (especially on Linux :"makefile" != "Makefile" !!!).

Then open "Build options..." and switch to the right-most tab ( "Make" commands ) and change the commands to work with your makefile.

shador:
Thank you for the help. Unfortunetely there is no tab under "Build options" that has anything to do with make. The rightmost tab is "# defines" This anything familiar? I've seen a few other posts with similar topics.

If you have opened the "Build options", there is a small black triangle at the right side of the tabs, click on it, until you come to the rightmost of them.
