interesting makefile issue

call_me_anything

hi,

We have a big project thats built on several platforms and has a huge
number of files - common and platform specific files.
It compiles well if compiled through command line by its makefile.
But we would like to use some c/c++ IDE like Dev-C++ to ease the
development process.
Problem is to add all the files spread all over the place to the Dev-C+
+ project, including the windows specific ones and excluding the
others.
Can I instruct Dev-C++ to do all this automatically for me by just
looking at the "all" target of the makefile ?
Can it be done through some other IDE ?
Or is there some makefile helper tool out there which can bridge the
gap between makefile and the IDE ?

Then you'd better ask in a group where Dev-C++ it topical. We discuss
the C++ language here, not tools.

I think in Dev-C++ the only way is to make several
project files, separate for every target.

Yes, Code::Blocks . http://codeblocks.org/

[what purports to be an interesting makefile issue]

All makefile issues are boring. Proof: Assume the counter, that
is, assume there are interesting makefile issues. Interest is
a commensurate quantity. It can therefore be ranked. This will
lead to the ability to identify the least interesting makefile
issue. The obvious boringness of the LIMI clearly shows that
all makefile issues are boring.

Alternative proof: Attempt to rank all makefile issues on
their boredom level. This will allow the identification of
the least boring makefile issue. However, the property is
not reflexive. The least boring makefile issue is still
boring as watching off topic posts peel.
