Re: [cdt-dev] C++ Compiler and Linker Options 
Anyway, we¹re all watching this conversation. Please keep things civil.

As is probably poorly documented, Makefile projects mean all settings are
in the Makefile in the project you imported. CDT does not provide any GUI
that helps you with that, other than the Makefile editor itself which
provides a little, but admittedly not much.
