Hello,

I can not fully understand what is the purpose of file "GCC.bm.in". The first problem I have found is when you copy this file to "~/.upp/theide" the build method will be not detected. At least until the time when you change the name to "GCC.bm". Moreover even "Build methods" (Ide -> Setup -> Build methods..) cannot import this file. It can only works with "GCC.bm". Simply rename do the trick.

Do we need "GCC.bm.in" which is the same file as "GCC.in", but it posses import limitation?

P.S. 1
"GCC.bm" is not included in nightly tarbals. What is interesting here is that makefile can react on succesfull ide build and copy "GCC.bm" to following directory "~/.upp/theide" (Do not override if the file exists!!!). This small change will guarantee that IDE will works out of the box on POSIX.

P.S. 2
IDE should have capability to export certain build method or all methods.

Sincerely,
Klugier
