[mkgmap-dev] Running mkgmap in Eclipse

Hi, this is my first foray into looking at the mkgmap code so please bear with. I'm trying to run mkgmap in an Eclipse workspace and I've downloaded the r1899 source archive as a starting point. I'm getting a load of errors, mostly around a number of crosby* libraries missing. Is there somewhere I can look to find out what I need to do to pull together a working environment? Also, is Eclipse a suitable IDE for this? It's what I've been working with for the last couple of years so it is comfortably familiar at least. Any help appreciated. Walter
