yes, this is how to do it; the only suspect thing is the id of the <action> tag: in this 
way it would create a target in makefiles named "tests_firebird.cpp"; I think this could 
give some problem to bakefile... see below

I'm not sure to understand what do you mean by "I try to call the target through": where 
did you put that <depends> tag ?
I suggest you to use the <depends-on-file> tag instead.

I cannot see any bakefile in the "databaselayer" folder of my wxCode repository; if you 
commit them to the CVS I can give you more details...

how does your GNU makefile looks like ?
I think the problem is that <action> tag creates a target which is not exactly named 
"tests_firebird.cpp" (probably looks like "sub_tests_firebird.cpp").
