Run multiple build targets from multiple files

Hi,

I have been using the vscode makefile extension on linux with great results, however I would like to request a feature.

I have a main file called Makefile which builds my targets, for example "all debug clean"

I also have a file called buildsettings.mk which is another makefile which is included in the primary makefile, which offers additional targets, for example "pc laptop".

I would like to set the default make configuration in the side panel to: make all laptop

There are two current issues with this:

• I cannot see how to set multiple targets
• The targets from the included makefile (buildsettings.mk) do not appear in the drop down suggestions

I would suggest both of these issues could be fixed with a new option in the dropdown box called "custom" which the user can enter any text of their choice which will be run on the command line, for example "all laptop" for my case.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me with this issue.

Start with the Makefile Tools side panel and its make-configuration dropdown; the issue identifies Makefile and buildsettings.mk as the relevant inputs. Trace how targets are discovered and how the selected configuration is assembled, then verify that a custom value can run multiple targets such as "all laptop" and that targets from the included file appear in suggestions.
