Re: [Anjuta-list] Can't add source: Source file must be inside the project directory

Hi!

Anjuta does not implement a full parser for Makefile.am because this is
not simply possible as autotools were not made with something like this
in mind.

If you use completly custom Makefiles/Makefile.ams you can do very
specific stuff but no IDE is able to manage it and maybe not even any
automake version is able to handle them.

Anjuta is able to import most GNOME CVS modules because they use
standard automake structures. This source file restriction is an
automake restriction which can be bypasses by playing around in the
Makefile.am a lot but it is nothing which is desirable.

Regards,
Johannes
