I have C++ code that depends on boost and other libraries, and therefore this code has a makefile that invokes boost.

I am now trying to start developing this code in CodeBlocks in linux, so in order to do that I have two basic questions:

(1) How can I import the code into CodeBlocks as a CodeBlocks new project? This seems to be a good rec: http://www.programmingforums.org/thread44976.html

(2) How do I invoke the makefile with CodeBlocks instead of CodeBlocks trying to compile the code (which would fail since CodeBlocks do not know that it needs to invoke boost)?

    Most projects can be compiled without a makefile, so just include files, and if you need an extra library include that in a project. If your project uses header-only boost libraries and you have packet installed libboost-dev (this is on my Debian) then it is included automatically. Else just use the proper library name in settings (I can’t remember if you need to append l to the name).
