Re: [cdt-dev] CDT Build Console enhancements
Hi, Dmitry, Andrew,

On the question of which projects should have the make arguments and/or command-line input available:  the build console is not currently restricted to projects that use make.  Indeed, it isn't even restricted to projects that have the C nature.  In such applications it doesn't always make sense to present the make override options.

Perhaps the make arguments UI can be shown only for projects that have the CDT Common Builder installed and/or C Nature?  I don't want to give my users the impression that a project is built with "make" or some other external tool when it isn't.  Having the Build button in such cases simply run the default builder for the project is still pretty cool, of course.  :-)

Cheers,

Christian

2. I will make preference in build console whether to show make arguments text field. If you can tell me for what kind of projects it should be enabled/disabled please advice and I will make this determined automatically.
 
It should not be only make arguments but user rather should be able to specify the whole command. Then, sometimes there is a need to run several commands at one shot. Inability to do so is pretty annoying in Make Targets View.
The feature should be enabled for all projects.
