I have an existing C++ project on a linux environment, and would like to import it into the Eclipse IDE.

Not sure if I should start a new Eclipse C++ project, or if there was some way to import the source files?

+4  A: 

You can create a new Eclipse C++ project "in-place", i.e. if you have your sources checked out at /home/joe/mysources, you can select that directory in the new project wizard (uncheck the "use default location" checkbox first). All your source files will show up in the Eclipse project.

one solution: just create a new C++ projet (Standard make project), checkout/copy your files in it, then right clic on the directory of the project in the ressource view and choose New > Other > C++ > Convert to C/C++ Make project.
