Hi there,

I want to import an existing C project in CDT, but it failed. The process I made is as following.

1. Create a "Hello World ANSI C Project", which is named as "test1". Choose MinGW GCC in toolchains.

2. Build and run "test1" project. It can output "!!!Hello World!!!".

3. Now I want to learn how to import an existing C project. I delete "test1" project in Project Explorer and uncheck the option "delete project contents on disk". So "test1" is not in CDT now, but still in my computer.

4. This step is to import "test1" in CDT. In Project Explorer, I click "import", choose "Existing Code as Makefile Project", browse to where "test1" is located, choose "MinGW GCC" in Toolchain for Indexer Settings, and click "Finish".

Now I can see "test1" is in Project Explorer. But when I build it, an error window pops out saying "Build Project has encountered a problem". I guess the problem might be about the wrong "Build location". I tried to change the "Build directory", but I couldn't. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I included the snapshot of CDT in this post.
