Building sub-projects, can this be done?

Another newbie style question. We already have several projects that are contained within a hierarchical directory structure. If we run make at the top level it will recursively call make on all of the projects in sub-directories.

With netbeans I created a project at the top-level directory of our structure. If I go to build my project it will run the makefile at the top level correctly. But how can I build one of the sub-projects independently of the others? If I right-click on one of the sub-projects in netbeans the context menu doesn't have a build option. I hope that there is some better way of handling this than creating a separate project, for each sub-project.

Ex.

A

|B

|C

|-D

How can I specifically build project D?

Thanks, Derek
