I've built a hello world C++ project with Eclipse(helios) CDT. It compiled fine. But I would like to take a look at the Makefile CDT generated. I can't find it in project folder/debug/release folders or in the src folders. Where can I find this Makefile?

If you use the default setttings with current builder = CDT internal builder, there is no make file. if you select current builder = GNU make, you will see the makefile in the debug folder.
