Yeah, that sounds pretty reasonable, if difficult. It probably makes sense to concentrate on a simple-but-usable subset of automake, at least at first. Otherwise, the problem you'll encounter is that a Makefile.am is pretty complicated to interpret. For instance, there are runtime conditionals and configure substitutions. Another thing to think about is whether to support having a Makefile.am in each directory. It might be simpler just to have a single master Makefile.am at the top level. There are a lot of other things a useful auto*/eclipse integration could do. We could talk here or on the CDT list, as you (and others) prefer... Tom
