So, one quicker way to do this is to edit the configurations.xml file located under the NetBeans project folder, and look for:

    <preprocessorList>
....
        <Elem>BLE_STACK_SUPPORT_REQD</Elem>
        <Elem>S140</Elem>
....
    </preprocessorList>

Here you can add all the preprocessors. I guess you can even write a shell or python script to automatically parse the Makefile and add the macros to the configurations.xml file! ;)

@Valentin,

Sorry for the late response. Yes, this is a downside of NetBeans. However, I will look into a better way and report back. Thanks!

This is great, thanks! Though I have one issue: Code Assistance in Netbeans doesn't pick up #defines from the Makefile, e.g. CFLAGS += -DBOARD_PCA10056 and therefore sees BOARD_PCA10056 as undefined.

I can fix this by manually adding all the relevant defines to Code Assistance -> C Compiler -> Preprocessor Definitions, but that's a little laborious:)

Is there a faster way to make Netbeans' Code Assistance recognise defines from the Makefile?
