Hi @miniCircuit,

the most easy way is to set up a Generic Project, which already delegates the build to make.

@miniCircuit You can import that make files based project: go to "New File or Project" and select "Import Project" and then "Import Existing Project".

@jsulm many thanks for your quick reply i have tried that but the GNUmakefile isn't selectable (grayed out) I can load the makefiles but not the GNUMakefile and this project is using GNU

@miniCircuit said in how to run GNUMakefile with qtcreator ?:

GNUMakefile

what is this? Is it a makefile called GNUMakefile? If so try to rename it in Makefile which is actually the correct name for a make file.

@jsulm i have tried to load the whole folder as explained in the website and this is what i got

no rule to make target 'include/makeinclude/macros.GNU'. stop

Please read https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-generic.html !

There is nothing Creator does about your build system, it does not matter how the make file is called, it can be GNUMakefile

All Creator does is calling make all and make clean for build resp. clean. These can be changed in the Projects settings, too.
