I've been trying to figure out the following workflow with CEDET,
but ultimately I had to give up, due to me not having days to figure
it out... The workflow is as follows:

I have a directory structure like so:

project/
    /src/
        /subdir1/
                 a.cpp
                 a.h
        /subdir1/
                 b.cpp
                 b.h
        main.cpp
    /build/
           ...
    /docs/
          ...
    /externals/
               externalA/
                         includes
               externalB/
                         includes
    Makefile



Now, the only thing I want is that when I open a file in the src/
directories, to have emacs know about the includes from the
externals and the other src directories, and if i save any
file to execute the makefile from the top directory.

"How hard can that be?" I thought... emacs only needs to know about
the includes directory to get the cedet fun stuff enabled, and
a save-hook for the makefile. Figures, I've been completely unable
to even parse the documentation to find out where to start on how
to configure this.

Do I have to place a special configuration file in the project main?
Do I have to place some configuration lines in a file?
Do I have to set something in my .emacs?

And if yes on any of this, how?

In fact, I think if someone knows how to do this very very very simple
thing of a workflow, and makes a "I'm a dummy" tutorial for this,
(including on how to enable cedet in .emacs!) then I guess thousands
of developers would be very very very happy.

Peace out :)
