Description dnikitin 2007-03-05 15:31:13 UTC 
to reproduce:
1) create any sample c/c++ project (e.g. Welcome)
2) open properties and click "Manage Configurations" button
==> Project Properties dialog box appears
3) click "New" button to create new configuration
==> NewConfiguration was added
4) click Ok to close Configurations dialog

Look at "Configuration Type" property. This property equals "Makefile" instead
of "Application". 

Default value for "Configuration Type" for just created Configuration is always
"Makefile".
Comment 1 Thomas Preisler 2007-03-05 23:38:48 UTC 
A project can have multiple configurations of different types so there is not
always one particular type that is better a better choice than the other. I
agree just choosing Makefile project is not very good so i changed it to use the
type of the active configuration instead. It is in most cases what you want. And
you can change it in those cases where it is wrong.
