[Anjuta-list] Re: How to execute file in Anjuta?

[Anthony Mak <anthony mak nicta com au>]

I have finally found out how to build and execute a simple file in Anjuta.

Anjuta is pretty cool except you have to be careful and manually do 
somethings
(see Steps 3 and 4 below).


Lets say I have a program "helloworld.c".

How to run helloworld.c in Anjuta:

1. Create directory e.g. /usr/local/project/helloworld and
    file /usr/local/project/helloworld/helloworld.c.
2. Open Anjuta and select "Open Existing Project" (when prompted at 
splash screen) by
      browsing to the helloworld.c file.
3. **Create makefile using any editor inside the above directory for 
the above c file.
4. **Make sure the target filenme is correct at Project->Configure 
Project->General (tab)->Target
     e.g. set to a.out or helloworld depends on the target/executable 
filename set at makefile.
5. Build->Build
6. Build->Execute
