Hi,

i am trying to use Using CDT for a large existing c++ project (e.g. the
size of mozilla firefox) on linux.
I have make files and I can compile and debug it thru gdb.

But when try to import that to the eclipse cdt thru the Standard C++
project wizard, the wizard just hangs.

Please let me know if can help me resolve this.

Thanks.

I had similar problem when I've used some old Cygwin package.
When I was trying to create Managed Make C++ project (even empty) - it hangs
up.
I'd noticed (using process viewer) that there is some process spawned by
eclipse (or it's child) that does not ends up.
I don't remember what was the process. Something like unix-like (ls, pwd),
provided by Cygwin.
If I kill this process, eclipse unfreezes.

When I installed newer Cygwin package, problem has gone.

I hope this could be helpful for you.

Hi, I have had to use a different method to work on large legacy C++
applications. Instead of importing the files, I create a new standard C++
project and then add new folders to that project which link to the
existing code base (add new folder not new source folder as new folder
will allow you to link to a folder in the filesystem). Clearcase vobs in
this case. I haven't seen anybody or anywhere else that does this but it
seems to work reasonably well for me. I have requested comment on this
method vs. importing or creating the project in the actual filesystem
directory but i have had no replies to my inquery. Hope this helps. If
you find a better method please post it.
