I recently joined a large C++ project that where the codebase is housed in Clearcase. The primarly build system is make, which is also in Clearcase. The builds are unwieldy and long, so I would like to use the Clearcase plugin for Eclipse to select a small subset of files for an Eclipse CDT project I can use as an alternative build system for active development and debugging.
Is there a robust way to do this? The Eclipse setup is Helios SR2 running on Linux.
In answer to my own question, one can create a project by way of File > New > “Makefile Project with Existing Code”. The “Import Existing Code” dialog appears where one can enter a root folder path.
