Hi everyone,
I'm new to Eclipse. I wonder how to use Eclipse to debug a C/C++ executable
when the executable is compiled by an in command line makefile. Do I have to
create a project in Eclipse first and import all source files and the
executable? Is there a simpler way?
Thank you very much!

Hi Jeff,
Thank you very much for your answer!
So we need to create a project and import the files of source code to the
project before debuging? If there are a number of source code files, then we
need to add these files one by one. Is there a simpler way to debug?
Thank you again!
