The problem is that the Special Targets dialog is created from the Makefile. If the project has not yet been built (i.e. configured), the Makefile doesn't yet exist so there is nothing to parse. What would be needed would be a dialog to ask if the user wants to run the configure step. Please confirm that you do not have any such problem once the project has been built and that I have diagnosed this correctly.
A patch has been applied to create the Makefile via configuring if it does not already exist.
