Using Eclipse C++ toolchain on Linux

[iceman2]

Hello,
I want to use Eclipse to develop C++ projects on Linux. Particularly I
want to modify stable and widely used open source projects using the
Eclipse CDT. One of them is Intel Opencv ( sourceforge.net/projects/
opencvlibrary ) . There are tutorials to create simple c++ projects
like here : http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-stlcdt/
..

I have seen plenty of tutorials for using Eclipse CDT to write
programs in
OpenCv like here : http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/Eclipse or
http://tommy.chheng.com/development/windows_development_setup.html .
However i
want to use Eclipse to make changes to the OpenCv platform itself and
compile it
from there. I really like many of Eclipse's features like :Syntax
highlighting
,Outline ,Code assist, Code templates, Code history etc .. Would
someone write a
small tutorial on how can one make a project in Eclipse from the
OpenCv tarball
? I would use Eclipse CDT on Linux .

Can Eclipse CDT recognize Makefile as it can do for ant scripts?

No: When it gets dark at totality you can't even see,
much less recognize anything.

There are Eclipse-specific newsgroups. You might get help there.

I was hoping to hear from some developers on what they are using on
Linux for fast development. Eclipse is a very good tool. I'm not sure
if its as matured for C++ on Linux as on Windows.

Why ask C programmers about what they use for C++? Something that is
excellent for programming in C might be crap for C++.
