[Anjuta-list] working with existing projects

[Joe Bussell <joe otsys com>]

Greetings Listers,
   I am playing around with anjuta.  I have had some successes and have 
met some pitfalls.  Specifically, I am attempting to work with an 
existing project with its own makefile and build system.  The desired 
behavior is to have the "build" command execute the Makefile in the 
project directory.  Somehow I managed to get my debian box to do just 
this, but I cannot replicate it on my Redhat 9 box.  Specifically it 
enters the Compile state and never leaves.  When I try to start the 
debugger anjuta complains that there is no target executable set for the 
project.  I checked in the Project>Configure Project window and observe 
the target is named appropriately (and is identical to the one declared 
on my debian box).
   These two situations may be unrelated, but my feeling is that they 
are due to some common configuration mismatch.
   Is there any hope of getting out of this meta-stable state?  I 
really need to get this going on my Redhat box for a demo if I am to 
procede with anjuta.

Cordially,
