Thanks Mattn!
When i go to File->New-> C++ project i come across two issues:
6a) after choosing the checkout dir it says "I:\ufoai\ufoai overlaps the location of another project 'ufoai'" and therefore does not allow me to click next
7a) there are a number of suboptions to choose from, which one should it be anyway- screenshot attached?
So i tried the following instead and may have gotten further
6b) File->Import Project->C/C++->Existing Code as Makefile Project
7b) Hit Next, and left the default options of Languages both C and C++ ticked, and Toolchain for Indexer Settings as <none> (other options were Cross GCC, GNU Autotools Toolchain, Microsoft Visual C++, MinGW GCC)
After checking the project properties you mentioned, which were like you said already, i tried building but got the following two errors:
Error 1:
make: *** [debug-mingw32-i386/cgame-campaign/client/cgame/campaign/cl_game_campaign.cpp.o] Error 127 ufoai C/C++
Error 2:
/bin/sh: git: command not found ufoai C/C++ Problem
What are they / how can i build successfully?
p.s. in the checkout folder i see a new dir called debug-mingw32-i386 but there is not much in there, mainly empty subdirectories
p.p.s. additional new creations in the checkout folder are the following files: .project .cproject config.h Makefile.local
