Can I use gnumake (similar to ANT) scripts to compile sources? [message #823016] Sat, 17 March 2012 16:51 Go to next message

We are planning to migrate an existing project to Eclipse.

In order not to have to rewrite all existing gnumake scripts we prefer to use them inside Eclipse (as context menus similar to ant/maven).

Is this possible?

Is an additional plugin required?

What do you mean by "gnumake scripts"? Makefiles?

i just wonder if external makefile is invoked to comile the source files,how does CDT parse the compilation result(probably errors), and then refresh the code editor with errors line highlighted.
thanks

Ok, by what are gnumake scripts/makefiles replaced in CDT?

I want to migrate an old makefile/cmdline based c++ project to Eclipse.

Is there a converter which helps me to integrate such a legacy project into Eclipse?

The Project Wizard (New->Other..) lets you choose "C/C++: Makefile project from existing code". Eclipse will then use your existing makefile to build the project (to be precise: Eclipse will call "make all" in the project's root folder).

If you want to use a managed project i.e. all build options are set inside Eclipse then you must convert your Makefile manually.
