I have been running my projects through a linux shell using GVIM and compiling using gcc/g++. I have Makefiles created to link my programs to the appropriate includes/libraries. I've decided to make the move to Eclipse as I have used it at previous job, albeit much older versions and already configured.
I have eclipse installed and working just fine, however, I ran into a roadblock with my Makefiles. After a day long struggle to figure out why Eclipse was failing to include my libs/incs, I found out that I was importing my existing project as a C project and not as a Makefile project... this was causing Eclipse to ignore my Makefile and creating its own. I resolved that by importing the project as a new "Makefile Project" and using my own Makefile.
However, this brings up a new question. What if I had started this project from scratch on Eclipse? How would I have told Eclipse where by libs/incs were located? Can this be done somewhere through Eclipse, or do I always have to create a Makefile for each of my projects... I would think this would be something automated by Eclipse?
