title: Exporting Eclipse Executable Projects
body: <p>This seems to be a common and simple problem but I cannot find a useful answer anywhere. At this stage I'm at my wits end!</p>
  
  <p>Using eclipse with the CDT pluggin I have created an "executable" C++ project containing 10s of source files which auto builds (but does not appear to save a makefile ... it does generate a .cproject xml file however).</p>
  
  <p>My question is very basic: This is one of the 3 main CDT project types - how do I move/export it, as is, to another machine and simply retain the auto build feature? Selecting export just generates a rather useless file with little info.</p>
