adapting a C++ project to Eclipse [message #1753465]

Hello all,

I have a C++ project that I created outside of Eclipse. Is there any way to tel Eclipse where the includes are, etc. - and in general enable me to take advantage of the Eclipse's advanced features (diagraming functions, etc.) without structuring the project to Eclipse's standards?

Thanks.

Boris.

Importing existing projects
http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Fgetting_started%2Fcdt_w_existing_code.htm

As for include files, you need to tell the indexer where to look for includes
http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Freference%2Fcdt_u_prop_general_sd_entries.htm

If you want Eclipse to generate makefiles you need to add the include paths to Project-->Properties-->C/C++ Build-->Settings

You really should read this, too:
http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcdt_o_home.htm&cp=8
and the other topics found with Help-->Help Constents .
