Just got Eclipse today. Is that newcomer enough?

I tried to compile the HelloWorld project and got errors on the include of stdio.h and stdlib.h. I can't find them anywhere on my PC. I didn't see them in the zip file either.

I downloaded and installed the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers 64bit windows edition. I'm running Windows 10.

Are they hiding in some location with a different name? If so, I guess I need to adjust my PATH configuration. If I need to download something else, let me know.

Thanks,

Bill,

Probably you should have a look at https://www.eclipse.org/cdt/,
particularly the starter documentation. Also note that CDT has a
specialized forum so best to ask about out there...

stdio.h and stdlib.h are standard C headers that come with the compiler.

Eclupse/CDT uses GCC so that will have to be installed.
Running under Windows is trickier than Linux.

You generally have to install MinGW or Cygwin. Cygwin provides a Linux environment under Windows while MinGW can be used to build Windows executable files. You need to decide which you would prefer to use.

What you exactly need to do depends on your choice.
This is a bit out of date but could get you started:

Thanks David,

I've decided to use Microsoft Visual Studio Community instead of Eclipse. At least I can get VS to compile and run a C program.

Thanks.
