Hello everyone.
I have big project in eclipse. It building by MinGW. I need to build it by script without eclipse. Can I generate makefile automatically?

You are asking how to generate a makefile without Eclipse?
You should look at some of the numerous tutorials.
Google "gnu make tutorial"

Make has macros for globbing source files.
Familiarize yourself with the Make manual.
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/

If you are instead asking how to get Eclipse to generate a makefile,
go to Project --> Properties --> C/C++ Build
then enable Generate Makefiles automatically
You then will need to run a build to get the makefile in the configuration directory (selected at the top of the dialog).
