I have take a look at it. The problem is not the mix of C++ and python 
which shouldn't be really an issue.


The problem is that the configure.ac script is written in a smart way 
while the Anjuta parser is not so smart.

Basically, Anjuta parser finds directories where are the sources files 
looking for AC_OUTPUT or AC_CONFIG_FILES in the configure.ac file and 
SUBDIRS variables in Makefile.am. Then it looks *_SOURCES in all 
Makefile.am found in these directories.


In gnuradio, all these directories are given dynamically, parsing custom 
functions defined in config/*.m4.

The current parser in Anjuta doesn't expand functions and so see only 
the few files declared in the configure.ac file which doesn't correspond 
to directory containing source files.

The new parser doesn't expand functions neither at the moment. It could 
be done in the future but I have more stuff to handle first like 
include. Anyway, I will check again when the project parser will be more 
advanced.


Honestly, I will be surprise than an IDE can parse such project. A work 
around could be to check in every directory looking for files with know 
source extension, like .c, .cxx, .h, .cpp, .py... It is something that I 
have planned to do when the new project manager will be ready for 
supporting even smarter project using plain Makefile.

Sébastien
