Yes, I used to do that because several people here do it.
The idea is simply to create a project, and in the settings
of the project set a command line with a call to make.
That way, you get compilation with F7, you get the file
browser/editor just like usual.. The only function I can
think of that you lose (over using the built-in compiler)
is that you don't get a direct link between compiler output
and editor: ie when there is a compilation error, you can't
just double click on the error to get the editor at the
error place.
