I am developing under Windows, and using Eclipse with CDT to develop C++ applications.
Now, for build management I can create a normal C++ project and Eclipse will completely manage the build (calling the g++ compiler with proper arguments), or I can create a Managed Make C++ project and Eclipse will manage the Makefile then call make on that Makefile (when building the project) which in turn will complete the build process.
Is there any advantage of using one of these approaches and not the other?
EDIT: I am not talking about Managed Make vs Standard Make, rather I am talking about Make vs Eclipse. Yesterday I tried compiling a C++ project under eclipse on a system that doesn't include Make at all, and the project compiled fine, meaning that eclipse can manage the build completely on it's own, which bring the original question into focus: do I need Make?; I can use eclipse alone.
That's my question...
