Hi,

Massimo and Johannes are working on a new symbol database plugin. I'm 
not really involved in it, but I think it could solve this problem.

This involved different plugins and part of Anjuta:

1. The makefile project manager. This part is responsible for displaying 
 the project view: so all targets and source files but not build them.

The projects are handled by the project-manager plugin which used 
gnome-build. Gnome-build supports itself several plugins (called 
backend) and one of it supports makefile. But, it's not working very 
well. I think that nobody work on this.

As you edit your makefile by hand, I don't know if you need some 
improvements here or not.


2. The build plugin. This part is responsible for building the project 
(all the Build menu). Depending on the project kind a different plugin 
can be loaded.

I would like to make some changes in this plugin and in the interface 
implemented by it (IAnjutaBuildable). I think this interface is already 
used by external Anjuta plugin (for maemo in particular), and there is 
already some support for scratchbox that I would like to keep and try to 
improve a bit if possible. Rob Bradford is already interested about 
improving this part to support cross compilation.

Again, I don't know if you need some particular support here. But if yes 
 it will interesting if you participate to some discussion about this. 
I will try to propose something in one or two weeks. I plan to work on 
this for some time (if I don't get too much bug reports on the debugger).


3. An AVR plugin.

If you just need to add a few menu items to Anjuta interface, you 
probably don't need all this. It's quite easy to write an plugin adding 
a few buttons. You can start and ask for support here.
