Select the base directory of your project here.
Your main makefile must be in this base too, or at least a startup
makefile launching subdir builds.
For having content assist to work with standard make projects, I think
you still have to add the directories in the projects preferences
dialog. And until they got the variables working (once upon a time ;)),
you have to give the full paths not relatives.

Hi Kesselhaus,
You mentioned using a nested makefile. I think the problem I'm having
with
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=3382&gr oup=eclipse.tools.cdt
is that i don't have a makefile at the higher level
my structure looks like this:
ocean
|----------boat
| |------ boat.cc
| |------ Makefile
|----------plane
| |------ jet.cc
| |------ Makefile
etc
I think to make it work I need to put a makefile at the ocean level.
The question is, what goes in that makefile? I've never used nested
makefiles before.
Thanks,
David

Basically, you create a makefile in ocean with a target, say 'ocean',
'all', or whatever makes sense for your project. It dependes on dummy
targets which, when evaluated, simply go to the appropriate subdirectory
and call make there. The snippet below shows one way to do it using Gnu
make. If your make utility does not support the -C flag, you can issue
the shell command 'cd <dir> && make [targets]'
ocean: boat plane
boat:
make -C boat [targets]
ocean
make -C ocean [targets]
Hope this helps.
