I can think of two options:
- you can extend the number of build commands Geany supports (see
https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#build-menu-section), so can have as many as your menu can fit in the screen, so each "make foo" or make in a different directory can have its own menu item, and remember you can change the names to be useful, see https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/configurebuildmenu
OK, this sounds like a useful set-up. I tried it briefly, and it seems to work. The file list (that I have open on the side instead of tabs) are a bit long- ish, but it will probably work. Not sure why I did not think of this setup myself - probably partly because of the seemingly limited build menu variations was part of steering away from it. But if that can be extended like you say, it is actuall ideal! :)
Thanks for giving some suggestions, and also hinting about meson/ninja, sounds interesting to keep an eye for in the future!
Thanks a lot, Micael
