Eclipse Configuration
Download or update your T-Coffee project from the subversion repository.
Your T-Coffee main directory should contain an eclipse folder (as well as lib and t_coffee directory).
More details how to access the SVN repository here.
Choose "File > Import .. " from the Eclipse main menu. In the dialog box that opens select the "C/C++" folder and choose "Existing Code as Makefile Project".
In the next dialog enter the project name, let's say tcoffee and the root path your file system where you have a copy of T-Coffee sources.
Choose "C" in the "Languages" field and a "Toolchain" adeguate to your environment.

When you have done click the "Finish" button. Eclipse will load the project and will show it in the tree structure on the left.
To have Eclipse build T-Coffee we use a special makefile contained the eclipse folder.
Choose "Project > Properties" from the Eclipse main application menu.
In the following dialog select "C/C++ Build" node in the tree on the left.
In the "Build directory" field enter ${ProjDirPath}/compile value (which means the compile folder in the T-Coffee project just created.

Also select "Environment" node in the tree control on the left and then add an environment variable named LIB_DIR with the value ${workspace_loc:/tcoffee/lib}, check the "Add to all configuration" checkbox and click "OK".

When done close the properties dialog pressing the "OK" button.
Since T-Coffee builds many header files during the build process it is important to configure Eclipse so that it shares the path for sources with the build output path .
To do that open again the "Project Properties" dialog and select "Path and Symbols" under the "C/C++ General" node in the tree control on the left.
Click on the "Source location" tab, press the "Add folder" button and add the directories as showed in the picture below.

Finally, configure the headers paths for your T-Coffee project. In the same dialog click on the "includes" button and add the following two directories /lib and /lib/data_headers, marking them with flag "workspace path" available in the add dialog.
