title: How Do I Use Eclipse to Debug a C++ Program on Linux?
body: <p>I don't use Eclipse as an IDE, and have no interest in doing so.  However, I do like its source-level debugging.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can use it to debug a C++ Linux app without going through the ritual of creating a project?  (In effect, can I just use it like a frontend to gdb?)</p>
  
  <p>If not, what are the steps I need to follow to create a project that I can use to just debug an existing C++ program that is built using Makefiles or other tools (SCons, CMake, etc.).  I don't want to be able to "develop" in Eclipse; all I need to do is debug.</p>
