Hi all!

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.
