Well, I'm not sure yet what is necessary.
I was too quick to reply in my last email.

I am unsure about your example for the run command. If you're running  
make, you should use the normal Make command, with the project base  
path set to "/path/to/project/.cmake". The only reason why you might  
not want that is because then the project run command will be run with  
that path as the current working directory, but probably this doesn't  
matter too much. (You can use full paths or ../ in the run command as a  
workaround). The run command is intended for running the script or  
executable you just built.

Anyway, even if you do want to use the run command for now, I don't  
think there is any need for %p. The base path is used for the current  
working directory, so you can just use:
make -C .cmake <target>

Sorry I didn't reply with this earlier.

I will add run command %e and %f support, but really it needs some code  
refactoring, so maybe it will get done in the next week. So just use  
full paths for now.

Regards,
Nick
