Use "make". Make findes out which files have been changed and need to be
recompiled.

For compiling a single file, probably 

make CAcURL2FTS.o

is what would suit you best. For compiling things in a directory, you
would use.

make

without any further instructions. If you do not have any make files, you
need to run ./configure in the GIFT base directory.

I cannot give you any suggestion on how to use CDT with GIFT. Last time
I tried CDT is a long time ago, and it did not convince me at that time.
I use (x)emacs and make, currently.

I guess the main part of getting it to run with Eclipse is to acquaint
CDT to the idea that there are some pre-existing make files that CDT is
to use.

As GIFT has a hierarchy of make files, there are chances that CDT will
not like that. I wish you the best of luck. If CDT does not suit your
needs, I would also take a look at kdevelop, in your place. However,
again, I do not have any real experience with that.

Yes, at least, I think so.
