Hi John,

Yes.

I think I have changed the project wizard, so now out-of-the-box, it 
should use the Debug configuration. Anyway, the remaining is right, if 
you configure your project in the source directory, you cannot configure 
it later in another directory.

You need to run make distclean in the source directory or select the 
Default configuration (check that the directory is set to the source 
directory) and select remove configuration.

Which error "source directory already configured" or the debugger warning ?

For each configuration (except the default one), Anjuta creates a 
directory in the project directory. So you will have something like

project
   configure.in
   Makefile.am
   ....
   + src
      Makefile.am
      main.c
      ...
   + Debug
      Makefile
      ...
      + src
         Makefile
         ...

So project is the source directory and Debug is the build directory. I 
haven't tried to put the build directory outside the source directory.
