If in the console window appears the message:
make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
It is likely that you have entered an invalid path the folder containing the makefile. Open the "Properties" dialog and check the step Configure the build makefile on the Eclipse Configuration.
Highlight the t_coffee binary in the project structure on the left pane and select the "Run > Run" command from the Eclipse main menu - or - the green Execute icon in the top toolbar.
Only the first time you will requested to choose the run configuration, select gdb/mi from the dialog box that will be displayed.

When finished click "Run" to execute T-Coffee with the specified command line arguments.
You can browse the source code and open symbols declaration (i.e. functions, macros, variables, etc) just clicking identificators in the source code while pressing the CTRL key on the keyboard (CMD on Mac) .
In this way you can "navigate" the sources just like browsing a web page.
To enable this behavior make sure that you have all Editor Scalability options disabled in your Eclipse Preference
Select "Window > Preferences " from the main menu ("Eclipse > Preferences" on Mac) and choose "Scalability" editor options on tree control in the dialog page.
Then remove the checkbox on "Disable live parsing" like the following picture.
