I'm trying to set up Eclipse to build an autotools project. I'm following instructions that have been provided for the RTEMS operating system. (I'm actually on Ubuntu, running Eclipse Mars CDT in a cross compiler environment.)
The first step in the procedure, "File, New, Makefile Project with Existing Code" appears to work correctly, even though there is no makefile in the target directory. (There are however files like Makefile.am, Makefile.in, etc.)
The second step, "File, New, Convert to a C/C++ Autotools Project" fails with one error, which has the description "***", resource "rtems-git", location "-1", type "Configure Problem". (I looked on Console, and it just says "Build Stopped".)
Is there a log file anywhere that I can access for a more informative description of the problem?

Unless you are modifying the autotools files (the *.am, *.ac and *.in files), the Eclipse autotools project doesn't do much for you.
You only need to build and run the config file once for most projects.
Suggest you do it anyway from a cmd terminal to see if you aren't getting a configure error when building the config and makefile.
I usually run autotools outside of Eclipse as needed.
That said, I think you should import the project as File --> Import... --> C/C++ --> Existing code as Autotools project
or make a new one with File --> New --> C/C++ Project --> GNU Autotools --> ??? whatever
instead of converting to one.
If you are new to autotools, expect a large learning curve.
As for the log, generally the location and name of the log file is specified at
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ Build --> Logging
