title: Using custom-made makefile in Eclipse
body: <p>If this question is not suitable here, please let me know.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to set up an environment in Eclipse to use a custom-built makefile generated by cmake instead of the built-in builders in eclipse. I have tried all the recommended settings but there is still no joy. </p>
  
  <p>I create a new project with New->C++ Project->Makefile project->Empty Project and changed the location from default to the location where my project is.</p>
  
  <p>In project->Properties->C/C++Build, I un-tick the "use default build command" and put the path where my makefile is. I also un-tick "Generate Makefiles automatically". </p>

  <p>I have tried many different commands but I am receiving errors like "No rule to make target '/Makefile'. Stop"</p>
  
  <p>I am surely missing out on something. If anyone has any knowledge about how to do this it would be much appreciated. Thanks.</p>
