I am missing the Tool Settings tab under:
Project Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings

See attached screenshot. I have eclipse 2019-06, version 4.12.

The reason i'm looking for it is because i want to start using Boost for testing my c++ project as described here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44788731/c-boost-test-package-structure-and-eclipse-project-settings

Is there something wrong with my project?

Thnks,

Ivana

You have Generate Makefile turned off.
Go up to C/C++ Build and enable it

Thanks David, i'm new to c++ and someone else made the project's makefile.

Am i correct in thinking that a project either has a makefile or generating the makefile is left to eclipse and in this case the Tool Settings become available?

Yes. Or something similar, like a Cmake file.
Eclipse needs some external buider,
nominally GNU Make but you can change it.
If it isn't Make, you are responsible for its creation.
Eclispse can now handle Cmake
but I don't know how well.

If you have your own makefile,
you don't want Eclipse to destroy it.
The Tool Settins tab sets parameters to be used
when creating the Makefile
