[safarend]

After looking all over the Internet, Google, and documentation I did not find anything that guide to how to move a QT project to Eclipse CDT, so after it worked for me I decided to make it easier for those who will need it .

Steps to move Qt project to Eclipse CDT

First you need to have Eclipse CDT installed, you can do that by typing in the terminal the following:-
[ sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt]
After that go to open Eclipse and press File -> New Project, and choose C++ Project then Next, then type project name and choose the directory of the source code then an empty project -> Linux

Then press finish and then yes


Now you will see your project on your left click on it and choose Project from the menu ->Properties click on C/C++ Build and remove the check from Generate MakeFiles Auto and in the Build location navigate to the folder that contains MakeFile that QT created for you.
