[Geany] Project Management - Multi File projects - Compilation options

[P.J.G. Long]

 Dear All,

       A while ago I post a question about how to use Geany in our 
situation, students compiling multi-file projects for multiple targets. At 
the time, and in subsequent postings, there where some hints that things 
were being thought about. I wondered if anything was likely in the near 
future or if people already had solutions. In particular,

 1) Having multiple easily-accessible compile options for a project. We 
have a need to compile a number of files, normally using gcc, to run either 
locally on a Intel/Linux box or alternatively on a ARM based embedded 
micro. It would be nice to have one directory of sources and multiple 
targets. In this situation perhaps an option to have say two/three compile 
+ build commands + associated targets. These could be used to compile with 
different options, e.g. debug on/off, different architectures ... The 
default would be the top option but the others could be selected if 
required

 2) The possibility to include/exclude files from a multifile compilation. 
This could obviously be done from a editable makefile, but it would be nice 
to have them easily selectable in a project, e.g. with tick boxes + the 
ability to add/remove files from the options list.

 I apologise if I have missed a post giving information on the above. I 
would value a pointer to the correct thread.

   Many Thanks
