How to import C makefile project into eclipse or put in under eclipse

Question

I have standard source code package under Linux which requires to run

./configure make 

to compile it (and it works ok).

Mostly these files are C/C++

Is it possible to put this project under Eclipse control? I wish to browse definitions etc...

UPDATE 1

I have Eclipse Indigo running on Ubuntu. It contains CDT of course.

When I choose File-Import, I see no matching option under C/C++. Under General I have Existing Projects into Workspace but I get No project are found to import if I point this wizard to my project root.

UPDATE 2

I have installed Eclipse with Ubuntu package manager. Probably this was wrong.

Answer 1

First run the ./configure to generate the Makefile. After that, if you have CDT installed,just choose the option "File->New->Makefile Project With Existing Code" and point to the directory where the Makefile is stored.
