I have C++ code that depends on boost and other libraries, and therefore this code has a makefile that invokes boost.

I am now trying to start developing this code in codeblocks in linux, so in order to do that I have two basic questions:

(1) How can I import the code into codeblocks as a codeblocks new project?

(2) How do I invoke the makefile with codeblocks instead of codeblocks trying to compile the code (which it would fail since codeblocks does not know that it needs to invoke boost).

Sorry if it's too basic but I am quite new to C++ and codeblocks.

Thanks!
