Having looked over the online CDT docs and recent posts to this newsgroup, I
haven't found a good answer to what I think must be a common question:
What are the best practices for working with exitsing C/C++ projects
that use the GNU autotools (autoconf, etc.)?
Some things seem relatively straightforward, e.g., running one's `configure'
script as an external tool. Other tasks, however, like managing multiple,
separate object trees, seem not so obvious to me. In addition, it would seem
to be tedious to set up this kind of "custom" configuration for every C/C++
project that uses the GNU autotools.
Given that there are many (!) existing C/C++ free software projects that use
the GNU tools, I assumed it would not be hard to find advice for working with
such projects in Eclipse CDT. But I was wrong! Either it is hard to find good
advice, or I'm just looking in all the wrong places.
So --- all pointers appreciated! Thanks!
Eric.

I haven't seen any replies --- so just in case the original was lost, I'm
"reposting" my question.
Thanks!
Eric.
