title: Custom Makefile With Eclipse CDT
body: <p>I have a C++ project with 3 .hpp files and 1 .cpp file, and a custom Makefile. The code and the Makefile for this project already existed, so I right clicked in the Project Explorer, and did <strong>Import->Existing Code as Makefile Project</strong> I named my project and pointed the location to the root dir of the project which contains all of my files. And I selected MinGW GCC as my toolchain because that is the compiler that I have. Then I went to <strong>Project->Properties->C/C++ Build</strong> and unchecked <strong>Generate Makefiles automatically</strong> </p>
  
  <p>Then I changed my <strong>Build directory</strong> by choosing <strong>File system</strong> and navigating to the root directory of my project which contains all of my files. The Build directory is <strong>C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\School\CSE\CSE 100\pa1-rbridges</strong> </p>
  
  <p>Then I changed the <strong>Build command</strong> to <strong>make -f C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\School\CSE\CSE 100\pa1-rbridges\Makefile bst</strong> where <strong>bst</strong> is a target in my Makefile and my Makefile is at that location. When I click the hammer on the toolbar to build my project, nothing happens. When I try to run my project, I get <strong>Launch failed: Binary not found.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I just want my project to use my Makefile and build properly. 
  I have searched Google and stack overflow for hours trying to figure out how to get this to work and have had no luck. Any help is appreciated. </p>
