Hi, I wish to use "C" legacy project in the Eclipse. In the project it require "autoreconf -vi" followed by "./configure" before make to start. My problem is I am not able to do "autoreconf -vi" and "./configure" from the eclipse.
Thanks Arpit
A:
The use of "autoconf" and similar hacks is no longer required. They were needed to port C code to platforms that failed to properly support ISO C89, but did made a reasonable attaempt. We're 21 years later and such systems are quite rare.
So, you should check for the use of Autoconf macros and remove those.
Scrapping ./configure might be harder, but it's also possible you might not need it at all - it could exist only as a result of autoconf.

I can not scrap configure or "autoreconf -vi".

Try harder. There's no good reason to keep them.
