OK, maybe not 10 billion. But I'm new to Eclipse and everytime I resolve an error (such as: make: *** No rule to make targetall'. Stop.), a new error pops up (such as:***No rule to make target 'clean'`).
Here's what I have: an Eclipse IDE and Netcat 0.7.1 source code from http://sourceforge.mirrorservice.org/n/ne/netcat/netcat/0.7.1/netcat-0.7.1.tar.gz
I unzipped the tar and clicked 'Import' in Eclipse to import 'Existing code as Makefile Project'. Next, I gave the project a name and pointed 'src' in the netcat folder as the 'Existing code location'. Now the files are imported in Eclipse. Next I click on 'netcat.c' and hit 'Build'...andddd everything starts breaking one thing at a time. First error I get is 'getopt.h' not found, then *** No rule to make targetall'. Stop.and then***No rule to make target 'clean'`
Yes, I know I can compile this on Linux using ./configure and then make. But I want to build it on Eclipse for some reason (I'm building it for a particular architecture). If someone could show me how to do this build and get the built netcat binary from eclipse that would save me a lot of time googling and resolving each error one at a time. I'm new to Eclipse but I'm sure people will be able to do this really quickly.
