Hi,
I need to programmatically retrieve some information from a Makefile. Is
CDT parsing the makefile and building a model out of it? if it is, how
can I access such model?

Thanks,
Roberto

I presume you are using a *managed* project.

I don't know the code, but I believe it's actually the opposite of what
you've suggested. I believe the CDT has it's own internal information
about the project and is generating the makefile from this data.

If you are using a *standard* project, then the CDT pays no attention to
the makefile, as far as I know.

Actually, I need this for non-managed make projects. Unfortunately I
found another thread on this newsgroup indicating that no makefile
parser exists in CDT.

No, unfortunately there doesn't. This is a dream for sometime in the future.
