# Bash script to import CMake project from Github and create local Eclipse CDT compatible project #
#                                                                                                 #
# The CMake Eclipse CDT strategy was taken from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9663686/3055724 #
# After run this script you need to import the project in eclipse:                                #
# File->Import->C/C++->Existing code as Makefile Project->Next                                    #
# Tested in Eclise Oxygen and Luna                                                                #
