I have a project (standard make directly on a source tree) which has
probably no chance to be built under Eclipse because the make is depending
on many environment variables (or is there a way to set env vars for
builds?).
Anyway, I want to use Eclipse for browsing and editing sources and I'll be
happy to run make in some shell.
But the indexer won't run without a build. How can I force the indexer to
run without the build?
Cheers,

Johnny -
The indexer is not tied to the build in any way. In fact, closing and
reopening a project will
trigger a reindex.
If you're using CDT 3.0 M6 or the latest from head, you can use either the
Original Source Indexer, DOM Indexer
or CTags Indexer. If you don't care about cross reference info (which is
used for search for
references) your best bet is to use the CTags indexer which is by far the
fastest of the indexers.

Of course without a build there will have been no chance for the CDT to
automatically discover the paths/symbols that would be necessary to
correctly parse your source, so the results of the index may not be
complete/correct.
You could either
1) manually input the appropriate paths/symbols in the project properties.
2) fake a build by recording the output of a real build and then having the
making called by the cdt build just cat those results to the stdout.
