Is there a way to configure CLion to use a local makefile to compile code, rather than CMake? I can\'t seem to find the way to do it from the build options.
Currently, only CMake is supported by CLion. Others build systems will be added in the future, but currently, you can only use CMake.
An importer tool has been implemented to help you to use CMake.
