Hi
(sorry for cross posting - i haven't noticed this particular forum)

I have installed the CDT-plugin and successfully managed to import a C++ project into eclipse from CVS.
However, when i right-click on this project and select "Properties", the list only comprises "Resource", "Builders", "CVS", "Project References", and "Run/Debug settings".

A dummy C/C++-project which i created from within Eclipse has some different items in the properties, such as "C/C++ Build" and "C/C++ General".

How can i convince Eclipse that the imported project is indeed a C++ project and deserves these additional properties?

My Eclipse has version 3.5.1 and the CDT Development Tools and Development SDK both have version 6.0.2, and the Development Utilities have version 5.1.0

Thank You
Jody

Did you import an existing Eclipse C/C++project? In this case there must be a file called .cproject in the projects root folder. Eclipse would recognize it automatically.
Otherwise you can change the project type.
In the menu open File->New->Project->C/C++
and select Convert to C/C++ project


Before you ask
- search this forum
- see the FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ
- google

Hi Axel
Thanks for your reply.
The project was not an existing Eclipse project, but "normal" editor-and-makefile project.

But your suggestion with "Convert to C/C++ Project" worked - thanks!
