Build projects from inside the Assistant

[MGessinger]

For me as a developer, it would save a lot of time, if the Assistant itself offered me an option to build my projects directly. Therefore, I propose a "Build" button in the project view.

The button might work as follows:

• If a makefile is present (i.e. a file named makefile, Makefile or make.bat on Windows), then simply run make. If a directory build/ already exists, then check there as well.
• If a CMake file is present (i.e. a file named CMakeLists.txt), create a subdirectory build/, run cmake .. there, and then run make.

Thank you for your request! The Make button is now part of the experimental features and is subject to be further tested! As of right now you will see a Make button if there is a file called "makefile", "Makefile" or "make.bat". Onclick this button runs make in that directory and displays the output in an overlay at the bottom.

Experimental features can be enabled by going to Settings > Enable Experimental Features.
