Getting started with OS X/ CDT [message #230959]

Sun, 01 March 2009 21:16

Just installed eclipse. I think I have everything happening and I opened
the example hello world and the line: #include <iostream> is giving me
the following error:

Error launching external scanner info generator (gcc -E -P -v -dD
/Users/someone/Documents/C++
Class/eclipse/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/s pecs.c) HelloCDT
Unknown C/C++ Problem

I've included the following path in Properties/"C/C++general"/Paths and
Symbols/includes:
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/include/c++

any more suggestions?

Do you have a C++ compiler called "gcc"? If so, is it accessible from CDT?

I'm assuming that this means going to "Properties for HelloCDT/C/C++
Build/Settings/Tool Settings and seeing GCC C++ Compiler on the left hand
side.

I've given the "include directories"
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/include/c++

my current toolchain is MacOSX GCC that sounds about right... correct?
current builder is still GNU builder...

is that right? I wish I understood this more.

went fiddling now the line doesn't generate the warning but I still get
some project warnings. and there's an error Launch Binary Failed when I
try to run as local application.

theres no step by step guide to getting yourself up and running with CDT
on osx/unix? The best I've read is "check that gcc is installed"

Have you installed the apple developer tools (from developer.apple.com)?
Without a compiler, you're not going to get very far.

It usually installs stuff in /Developer, verify you can run your
compiler by typing "gcc" in "Terminal"
