Dears,
Is it possible to import a typical Linux C/C++ project (having "configure, and/or " autogen" build environment scripts) into one (or more) project / or workspace of managed C/C++ project(s) ?

If not, does exists documented procedures, or scripts, .... or an eclipse plugin for doing something like that ?

Autotools toolset is for management of the makefiles.
A managed C/C++ project aims also to handle the makefiles.

There will be a collision on who handles the makefiles. I'd create an Autotools project for Autotools use.

OK, Thanks Tauno.
I agree with.

I still have then another question about facilities offered by CDT (or eventual plugins) to work with makefiles / configure / autoxxx files.

Is it possible, in the same way it is in c/c++ files, to navigate through an autoxxx/makefile project ?
By example :
- Right-click on a make variable, then "go to definition", "show usage",...
- Right-click on a make include directive (containing make variable) , then "open selected file"
- and so on,...

Thanks in advance,
Regards
