RE: [cdt-dev] Custom Make Targets

[Doug Schaefer <DSchaefer@xxxxxxx>]

The make command is exec'ed using the string passed in. You might try
setting your make command to:

   sh -c "make depend && make && sudo make install"

I'm not sure why sudo didn't work (I don't have my Linux box handy at the
moment). The same trick might work.
