Hello all,
I'm very new to the CDT project.
I'm using Eclipse and the JDT a lot on Windows2000.
I can't find the CDT download for Windows, isn't there one?

Hi,
There is no special download for Windows. You can use the downloads found at http://www.eclipse.org/cdt. Much of the
CDT function will work on Windows, but in some cases we are leveraging Linux system tools for things like debugging
(gdb), autoconf support, and profiling (gprof). So this function will not work "out of the box" on Windows.
However, installing the cygwin toolkit (http://www.redhat.com/download/cygwin.html) which is a Unix environment for
Windows gets you some of this function on Windows.
Hope that helps, and by the way, you just made our user FAQ:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/cdt- home/user/faq.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project#install_30

I had much the same question a couple of days ago ... but didn't get around
to asking:) I did, however, download CDT and found that most of what you
say is correct; cygwin does provide the functionality needed. There were 2
anoloies I noted, however:
1) When Eclipse booted with CDT installed a shell window appeared and never
went away. Don't know where it came from - any ideas?
2) Debugging/Running did not work - seemed to produce a violation (can't
remember now) in the target process that poped up a "... you ought to save
and exit" warning from Eclipse itself. I suspect this has something to do
with cygwin's gdb implementation. If you open a cygwin shell and type 'gdb'
you get a tk/tcl wrapper much like what Eclipse is trying to do itself. Any
other ideas?
All in all I'd like to see this work as well and would put in some time to
make it happen. I'm an Eclipe novitiate and got involved because I have a
use to GEF plugin. I'm also a C hack and an integrated Java/C/C++
environment would be real sweet.
One final comment - with CDT installed I seemed to get stack overflow errors
from the VM with alarming regularity. I have since uninstalled and this
problem is no more.
Hope this helps,
Al

The proces list comes from parsing the output of ps commands. On Linux this is
fine, but on Windows, we can only do this with the cygwin ps command.
Unfortunately, cygwin ps doesn't give the same kind of information that you
would get from Linux. Perhaps there's another way to get this info on Windows,
or there are different flags we can use for ps. If you want to try out
different flags, you can test them by editing the following file:
org.eclipse.cdt.dstore.miners/org/eclipse/cdt/dstore/miners/ processmonitor/ProcessMonitorMiner.properties.
Also the Windows approach has problems because, in order to launch a shell to
run ps commands, we use Runtime.exec(). On Windows, this ends up showing a DOS
window - hence the annoying window that doesn't go away when running CDT on
Windows. Does anyone know how we can hide this?

Hi Allan,
I was hoping that your problem would simply be with the operation of gdb in your cygwin environment, but if you can use
gdb from the command line successfully from the command line then there is more to it. To be honest, we don't claim
support for the CDT on Windows. We are focused on Linux and are using all of our cycles to drive towards a stable
release of the CDT shortly after Eclipse provides it's R2 Release. We would really like to see your problem solved, but
cannot commit to doing it ourselves. We are however, willing to receive and incorporate code submissions from the
community that fix problems like these.
For a better explanation: See the following answer in our FAQ:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/cdt- home/user/faq.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project#general_60
Thanks.
Jeff.

David,
Regarding the problem of the sticking window, is it possible to pass the
execution engine a shortcut rather than the program name itself? If so,
then the shortcut can be set to close when the program terminates.
