Hello,
I have an existing source tree that I would like to use in Eclipse with
CDT. The only way I can see to use this tree is to 'import' it, but that
means copy, and that is not what I want to do, I want to edit the files
where they are.
The project is on a ClearCase dynamic view (essentially a mapped drive
under windows), I have the ClearCase plugin installed. The source uses
makefiles. I am not interested in building it from Eclipse.
What is the best way to do this? Can anyone help?
Regards,
Gareth

that's one way to do it, which has the side-effect that the project files
(.project, .cdtproject) are created in the CC dynamic view. If that is a
problem you can also create the project in the default location and then
create a linked folder which points to the sources in the dynamic view.
