[gedit-list] Using gedit as development environment

[Jef Driesen <jefdriesen hotmail com>]

Hi,

I use gedit as a simple development environment. Almost everything I 
need is already there. There is a classbrowser plugin, I can execute 
make as an external tool and its output goes to the shell output pane, 
where I can click file and line numbers, etc.

But recently, I switched to an automake VPATH setup to cross compile my 
code for a couple of platforms (linux, windows and macosx) from a single 
source tree. So I have four directories:

project
project/source
project/linux
project/windows
project/macosx

But when I'm editing a source file, and want to build the code, it 
doesn't work anymore because there are no makefiles anymore in my source 
tree. Due to the VPATH setup, the makefiles are in the build directories.

Does anyone knows a solution for this?

Thanks,

Jef
