The Makefile used := which unconditionally overwrites GODOT, ignoring any value set via the environment. Switch to ?= so the auto-detection only runs as a fallback. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
On a fresh clone the .godot/ directory doesn't exist yet, so class_name types (ThemeColors, Log, etc.) aren't registered and resource imports (fonts) fail, producing a wall of parse errors. Add an `import` target that runs `godot --headless --import` when .godot/ is missing, and make `run` depend on it so the first `make run` just works.

Summary
make runfails with hundreds of parse errors because the.godot/import cache doesn't exist yet. Without it,class_nametypes (ThemeColors,Log, etc.) aren't registered and resource imports (fonts) fail.importMakefile target that runsgodot --headless --importwhen.godot/is missingruntarget depend onimportso the firstmake runjust worksContext
The
make runtarget launches Godot directly without running the import step first. Godot needs to run its import/editor scan ($GODOT --headless --import) to build the.godot/cache, which:class_nametypes (ThemeColors,Log, etc.)Without this step, every script referencing those types fails to parse. The import only runs when
.godot/is missing, so it adds no overhead on subsequent launches. A full reimport can be forced withrm -rf .godot && make import.Test plan
