Hello,
I can seem to be able to compile under CDT an existing C/C++ aerospace
engineering program currently running under Linux. I have read the
tutorials and have a basic understanding of IDE's in general.
I am totally new at Eclipse/CDT and not too exprienced with Linux. I have
used other IDE's such as MS Visual C++.
This aerospace program has been ported to Linux recently and builds/runs
fine under Linux SuSE 10.1. I simply type make to build it and run the
executable. It would be nice to be able to work on this application under
Eclipse.
I installed the Eclipse SDK version 3.1.2 linux-gtk (latest) as well as
the eclipse.cdt-3.0.2 (also the latest). Installation went fine.
To build the program, I tried different ways using the "Managed Make C++",
the "Standard Make C++" as well as the "Convert to C/C++ Make Project" but
all three ways failed. Trying "Convert to C/C++ Make Project" results in
"Error creating Project, Reason: Internal Error." I tried each way a
couple of times cleaning everthing out and re-trying.
This application has two levels of make files. The main makefile changes
to each sub-directories and runs the makefiles that are there.
Using the "Managed Make C++", I create an empty project and place all my
source files under the Workspace. There are 3 sub-directories under this
workspace each with more source files. When I try to build, I get many:
"C/C++ Indexer Problem: Preprocessor Inclusion not found: xxxx.h in file:
/xxx/xxxx/xxx.h"
Basically it can't find any of my include files even though the
directories are clearly added to the project. CDT also can't see the
"all" and "clean" makefile targets.
When using the "Standard Make C++" method, I get the same problem. It
can't find any of my include files.
I would appreciate some inital guidance by some of the more patient among
you. If necessary, I don't mind calling to work this out over the phone.
With best regards,
Frank

Hi,
If you have existing makefiles that work then you want to use a
Standard C/C++ project. This is what I do on my projects as we use a
non-standard build system. All you should need to do is create the
project in the root directory of your source tree where the main make
file is. I've never needed to do anything more that that as our make
files point to the proper directories where the include files are.
However, if it still isn't finding the header files by itself, you can
give it specific places to look.
To do this select the Project menu and click on the Properties option
for the project you created. In the left pane of the window select the
"C/C++ Include Path & Symbols" entry. Here you can enter specific paths
to be included.
