Use Environment Variables in Make [message #154938]

I am trying to port a makefile based build tree into Eclipse. The
makefiles are highly dependent on numerous environment variables. I am
not able to find a way to configure the project to set the environment
variables so I can use my legacy makefile infrustructure within eclipse.

I'm open for any tips.

Project properties | C/C++ Make Project | Environment tab is where I set
the environment variables for my makefiles...

Steve,

alternatively you can also start eclipse from a shell where the necessary
environment variables are defined. The launched build process will inherit
the variables. This should work immediately without having to make any
settings in eclipse. Later on you can switch to DaCypher's suggestion of
setting the variables in the project (which I consider the more elegant
way).
