There is also cmake otherwise.
The problem is that or
- you learn a bit the autoconf skills you need (doesn't take long)
  and finally write your own build systems
- you'll be stuck forever with what other people (microsoft/cedet)
  thik is a good idea, and normally it isn't

Using emacs I think it doesn't make any sense to look for tools that
write makefiles for you...

For a breakpoint you can click, use the space bar or the standard gdb:
"b File.cpp:#line" or "b Class::function"
