Generation of Makefile-<config>.mk without 'Build' Now when I change property of the project I should build project in order to generate new Makefile-<config>.mk file. I want change property of project (add new flags and options) and run Makefile from command line. Now I can not do it, because I need Makefile-<conf>.mk which is generated only after Build.
The observation is true. Perhaps I should change it so it gets saved when you save the properties.
Makefile-<config>.mk is generated and you shouldn't hand-modify it. You can always add your changes to the 'master' makefile which doesn't get overridden every time you build the projects. But your are right, the .mk makefiles may not be available until you have built the project from the IDE, but the creation is done at build time for performance reasons.
