Hi Didier,

In 0.18 there s an option in project properties that sets if make runs
in the base dir or the directory of the current file.  Set it to run
in the current directory.

Set the command in Geany to be something like "make Myfile=%f special_target"

and the make file to contain

special_target:
    the_command_you_want_to_run  $(CURDIR)/$(Myfile)

At least thats the basics

Cheers
Lex
