Fine. "make" would have been selected for you in case, but specifying is 
no problem.

What preferences did you set? I have never built outside the project in 
my life.
"Make" builds inside the project dir and ProjectCenter just invokes make.

Did you set the "Root build directory"? I have never used that setting.

Most probably run is not finding your executable. Because of some 
setting you changed.

perhaps it is a PC bug or some feature thought for somethign else... We 
can try to investigate, but first get you running in the easiest way.
