Ok.

Anjuta is a bit different because it doesn't have its own project 
format, it uses autotools which is the most common on Linux.

It means that it provides a GUI only for the most common options of 
autotools, so you could have to dig into autotools. On the other hand, 
it's probably more powerful than other project format and you can work 
with people using autotools or another IDE supporting it.

Yes, and you can do that with a GUI if the library use pkg-config.

No, a target is a program or a library. To create a new configuration, 
you need to click on Build->Configuration and type a new name for your 
configuration. Then you can select a build directory and some specific 
option for the configure step.
