No, the log file IS there, where you pointed. The only problem is the grayed menu item.

OK, where is the binary of program that produces the makefile?

The most important function that probably is causing troubles here is

String Ide::GetTargetLogPath()
{
	if(target.GetCount() == 0)
		return Null;
#ifdef PLATFORM_WIN32
	return ForceExt(target, ".log");
#else
	String title = GetFileTitle(target);
	String pp;
	String h = GetFileFolder(target);
	while(h.GetCount() > 1 && DirectoryExists(h)) {
		String p = AppendFileName(h, ".config");
		FindFile ff(p);
		if(ff && ff.IsFolder() && ff.CanWrite()) {
			pp = p;
			break;
		}
		h = GetFileFolder(h);
	}
	if(IsNull(pp))
		pp = GetEnv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME");
	if(IsNull(pp) || !DirectoryExists(pp))
		pp = GetHomeDirFile(".config");
	pp << "/u++/" << title << '/' << title << ".log";
	return FileExists(pp) ? pp : GetHomeDirFile(".upp/" + title + "/" + title + ".log");
#endif
}

Maybe putting some logs (now that you know where to look for them) here would help to identify the cause...
