Description Pierre Sarrazin

Build Identifier: M20100909-0800

I have a GNU Autotools makefile project. On a subdirectory (src/tests) in the Project Explorer, I have created a Make Target called "unittests". On that subdir, there is a context menu with a "Make Targets" submenu, whose Build entry shows Shift+F9 as the shortcut. This shortcut has no effect. The Make Targets dialog does not appear.

This shortcut would make it more efficient to build a target other than "all". 

The F9 shortcut (Rebuild Last Target) works fine.

Eclipse version: 3.6.1
GNU/Linux distribution: Fedora 14
Desktop: GNOME 2.32


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a makefile-based project.
2. Type Shift+F9 to try to get the Make Targets dialog.

I am using Mars.1 Release 4.5.1 and version Version: 8.8.0.201509131935 of CDT.
This still doesn't work. When I do shift F9 it is blank most of the time. It seems to depend on where I click in the project explorer window. I am using Gnu make and gcc 4.8.1. The project is makefile project.
