I know makefiles are important but sometimes I clone C projects from github that don't have any.

Is is possible to just allow the user to create a project and not stop him if there is no makefile? This is extremely annoying.

I normally just use Netbeans just to edit the code and not run the compile commands, I do those on the command like, so this is really irritating.

In your NB 8.0.2 version makefile is not required as well. It is just incorrect confusing spelling, so you can specify any file as your "makefile" and wizard would allow go further.

I'd recommend to try daily.

Wizard was reworked and we are looking for feedback!
