Hi,
I have committed a new version of the manual which I hope better explains the functionality of the build system I would like to end up at. It uses screen shots of the build menu and "Set Build Menu Commands" dialog to explain it better. I have also added a rationale so that the intention is clearer.
Looking forward to your comments.
Looks good, I've only had a quick look though. Some quick points:
I don't think by default there should be separate Make All and Make commands, usually they are the same.
I think really the project commands Custom Command and Execute should be separated from the other commands in the Build Menu Commands dialog, e.g.:
Build commands: Make Make Object
Custom command: Make Custom Target
Run command: Execute
This is because they are special (prompting for command editing or running in a separate window/VTE).
Also, sorry to keep quibbling over syntax, but maybe just use "Project Commands" instead of "Project Build Menu Commands"? The dialog already says Build Menu, repeating it seems redundant.
