C++ in Eclipse [message #143212] Wed, 15 March 2006 18:31 Go to next message

Hello,

I am in high school and was introduced to eclipse by a friend of mine.
Currently i am trying to develop c++ programs, nothing complex because i
am still learning the language, in Ecplipse 3.1.1 with MinGW as my
compiler.

My problem is that i am never able to compile any programs, mostly becuase
i have little idea of what to do, and the only tutorial i was able to find
on another wbsite told me that i have to produce makefiles.

so i guess my questions are how do i produce basic c++ programs in ecplise
and will i have to develop makefiles for each program?

Jon,

Have you installed the CDT Plug-in? http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/

No, there are two types of C/C++ projects. One is managed and the other
is standard. The managed project build the makefile. This assumes you
download and installed the C/C++ CDT plugin for Eclipse.

Check these out(just remember to use the latest releases)

Jon,

Are you trying to learn C++ specifically, or programming generally?

If it's the latter, you may find Java easier to start with, and the base
Eclipse out of the box provides you with all you need to write, compile
and run Java programs, including GUI programming with Swing or SWT.
