Hello everybody,

I am using C++ framework that can be run only in Linux environment. But my OS is Win7. I installed oracle VM virtualbox with Xubuntu and installed eclipse in VM, but eclipse works very slow in VM (on native OS win7 its much faster). I use 2 core notebook with 16GB ram.

Is it possible to configure eclipse in win7 so that it runs the project on Xubuntu virtual machine while developing C++ code on windows?
I know about cygwin, but don't believe I will be able to compile the library with cygwin.
Thank you.

So I shared source folder from guest VM with Linux with host Win machine and configured build commands using ssh so that they run on Linux VM. I use makefile to do run and compile on VM.
This works but each time I restart eclipse there are the following issues:
1) the "build command" in "C/C++ Make project" preferences dialog and in all make targets are reset to default.
2) all include files in project preferences are messed up

How to configure debug for this configuration?
Do I need to install debug server on VM or just run debug remotely using ssh and make target on VM?
I use Eclipse Luna "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers".
