A "custom makefile" is set in "Project Options". If
the program is closed, run, and the project is
reopened, then the "custom makefile" setting is not
properly restored.

Scenario:

  • Create a project.
  • In "Project Options", set "custom makefile" to some
    makefile.
  • "Rebuild All" runs the custom makefile.
  • Close Dev-C++

  • Run Dev-C++

  • "Reopen" the project.
  • "Rebuild All" generates an Error popup that says
    "Make file not found".
  • Go to "Project Options"->"Makefile". "Use custom
    makefile" is already checked and the filename is
    correct. Click OK without making any changes.
  • "Rebuild All" autogenerates Makefile.win and uses
    that for compilation.
  • Go to "Project Options"->"Makefile" again. This time
    "Use Custom Makefile" is no longer checked. Check it.
    Click OK.
  • Now "Rebuild All" uses the custom makefile correctly.

  • Instead of closing Dev-C++, just close the current
    project.

  • "Reopen" the project.
  • "Rebuild All" still uses the custom makefile.
