Setting up Eclipse for C++ [message #920124]

Hi

I have decided to return to writing C++ after 25 years absence and am trying to configure Eclipse on Ubuntu to compile a simple hello world example -

#include <iostream.h>
main() {
  cout << "Hello World!\n";
}

I am getting an error when I try to build the project -

Quote:

Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'CDT Builder' on project 'Hello World'.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

All I have done so far is install the CDT and create a source file in a new C++ project called helloworld.cpp.

Can anyone tell me if I should be pointing Eclipse at GCC or setting up include directories and so on? I can just about get by setting Eclipse up for Java but have no idea how to configure it to compile a C++ program.

If you are aware of any good online tutorials I would apreciate a link. The ones I have found so far all presume that Eclipse is working.

Thanks in advance for any help

Brad

Hi

I have also just noticed that in my project properties under -

C/C++ Build > Settings > Error Parsers

My Error Parsers tab has a rad cross on the tab. Looks like it is trying to suggest an error on the tab somewhere.

There is a CDT GNU Make Error Parser 6.0 item marked as (Deprecated). I don't know if that is part of my issue
