Description-en: Autotools support for Eclipse CDT
The Autotools suite of plugins adds to the CDT a support for building and
maintaining C/C++ projects that use Autotools. With this additional support,
a vast repository of C/C++ code can be checked out, built, and maintained
under the CDT rather easily without having to resort to the command line.
.
In conjunction with the CDT, the plugin can do the following:
* Build a C/C++ project that uses a configure script or an autogen
script or a Makefile.cvs script
* Create a simple C or C++ hello world Autotools project via a template
* Allow configuration parameters to be set via a gui and to rebuild when
configuration parameters are changed
* Colorized editing of configuration files such as configure.in, configure.ac,
Makefile.am, and Makefile.in with full hover help for autoconf/automake
macros
* Allow specification of multiple build configurations for a single project
* Run autotools such as autoconf, automake, or aclocal directly using a gui
interface
* Includes hover help for autoconf and automake macros in the editors
