Standard Make vs. Managed Make in CDT in Eclipse

From this presentation, here are differences between Standard Make and Managed Make in CDT in Eclipse.


Standard Make

• Re-uses existing makefiles
• Simple integration with arbitrary build systems
• Parsing of toolchain output to generate error markers

Managed Make

• Manages compiles and toolchain directly
• No makefile editing
• Fine control over compile, link settings

Also, see "When do I use the standard make feature" from the CDT FAQ.
