Bonjour Kurvin,

The 'default' Gnu implementation uses the active configuration (e.g. Debug)
subdirectory of the project as the working directory when calling make,
this directory normally contains the top makefile.

If I understand correctly your generated makefile is in a different
'temporary folder'. Your own makefile generator should implement a method
'getBuildWorkingDir()' that probably can be used to specify your specific
build working directory. It looked as if the directory returned by this
method is used as a relative path to the project directory, so not sure if
it works if your temporary folder is outside of the workspace?

Another method might be to add an gmake command line option to switch to
the temporary folder.
