I have a source code of an OpenSource project which I get from SVN. I was able to run autogen --> configure --> and make successfully (through the terminal). But I want to build the same project with Eclipse, and I can't port manually those source files to eclipse though. So, How can I set Eclipse to use external make files ? can anyone please help me ? Thanks.

By default you should have [workspace]/[project folder]/Debug/makefile.
You can create a custom Makefile and make sure it's in your project root. Then you need to disable the auto generated makefiles. You can do that by going here: Project Properties (right click on project and select properties) -> C/C++ Build -> in that window uncheck "Generate Makefiles Automatically."
A "make target" provides a way for developers to interactively select a makefile target from within the Eclipse environment. It is assumed that the makefile is named makefile , which will allow it to run with the default build tool configuration. This can be changed but is cleaner if defaults are used.
Ok, I got it, It was straightforward. Just go to project properties --> C/C++ Build --> Make file generation --> and untick "Generate Make files automatically". In additionally you may have to set the Build location also.
