I don't understand how to use a Makefile with Eclipse (Galileo), nor do I understand what the point of the project settings are.
I tried doing a managed make project, but when I do that the menu for choosing the compiler and linker disappear By 'disappear' I mean that the "Tool Setting" tab (and others) are no longer present. Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Where did the Tool Setting tab go? I tried doing a standard make project, but when I create my own makefile, it ignores it and uses the settings from the Tool Setting tab. It's almost like the interfaces for the two items were accidentally switched. If can choose Project -> Make Target -> Create, it allows me to specify the name of a target, but doesn't allow me to define what that target is or recognize it from my existing Makefile. The ultimate goal is to set up Eclipse as a remote debugging, cross-compiling, productivity enhancement framework, but it's been an uphill battle so far that I haven't been gaining ground on. I just can't seem to figure out "the Eclipse way" of things. *I would be very willing to pay someone well *(or donate to your favorite FOSS foundation)* to help me get this set up.* I've been reading blog posts, articles, wikis, etc and the information and menus don't match up (it seems that Eclipse is about as bad as facebook about changing their UI regularly. Unlike facebook, however, it doesn't seem that they've managed to ever make it simpler or more intuitive) AJ ONeal
