Is there a way in the Eclipse CDT gui to change a project type after you have created it? I initially created a new C project in CDT as an executable on error. I would like to convert this project to a static library. Any thoughts?

You need to go to project properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Build Artifact Tab. There you can change the artifact type to static or shared library.
