Make Options

The final panel provides control over the project’s Makefile.

Allow Simply Fortran to Manage Makefiles

When enabled, Simply Fortran will customize the name of the project’s makefile based on the project’s name itself. This feature can help resolve issues when multiple projects reside in the same directory, keeping their makefiles separate. Enabling this feature implies always regenerating the makefile.

Makefile Name

This text box specifies the name of the Makefile to be created and used by Simply Fortran during the build process. This file will be created in the project’s directory.

Always Regenerate Makefile

By enabling this option, Simply Fortran will regenerate the makefile associated with the current project every time the user initiates the build process . Any user-created changes to a makefile will be destroyed if this option is selected. All dependencies will be updated during every build cycle, however, which is often useful for development projects and eliminates the generate makefile step.
