Hi,

We don't have a makefile parser in the CDT.

On the one hand it would be nice to parse a user's makefile to provide a
graphical list of their targets and other makefile directives, and perhaps
even round-trip and edit makefiles. After some investigation we decided
that to do it right would take more effort than it is worth. As I'm sure
you know when you mix together variable substitution, makefile inclusion,
recursion, and invocation of external scripts and all the other "standard"
features the problem becomes quite thorny.

However if you find (or start) an open-source project, let us know ;-)

Jeff.

If a GPL:ed one would be good enough for you, why not grab the one in
GNU Make?
