Judy had posted a workaround for some installation problems, but I (and
several others) keep getting the following problem (quoting from my
previous post):

---Start quote
I've tried this and it still doesn't work - but I did find a possible
cause. This is the error I get after pressing "Enable" in the
Install/Update Manager:

Error creating feature "file:/C:/Program Files/eclipse/eclipse
2.0.2/features/org.eclipse.cdt_1.0.1.jar/".[java.io.FileNotFoundException:
C:\Program Files\eclipse\eclipse
2.0.2\features\org.eclipse.cdt_1.0.1.jar\feature.xml

The problem seems to be that it's looking for
"features/org.eclipse.cdt_1.0.1.jar", when the zip expansion actually
creates "features/org.eclipse.cdt_1.0.1" (no ".jar").

---End quote

I am running Windows 2000, using Eclipse 2.0.2, trying to install 1.0.1
GA. Has there been any fix to this? I'd really like to try out this plug
in for my C/C++ programming.

Thanks,
Josh

I too have been hoping for an update on the installation bug. I have also
tried all the work arounds and posted solutions from several different
posts in this forum. None of them have worked successfully for me. I am
running Windows XP and using Eclipse 2.1 (various versions) for Java
devlopment, but tried the latest CDT plugin on Eclipse 2.02 without
success. I love using Eclipse for my fully time Java development
environment, but haven't done any serious C++ development as of yet.

I appreciate all the work you guys have been doing on the CDT plugin, just
wondering (like Josh) if any progress has been made with these
installation problems.

As a side note, is there a rough timeline for a CDT plugin that
(officially) works with Eclipse 2.1? I've been using the 1.0 CDT build
with Eclipse 2.1 without any major problems, but I know it's not the
official version that it's supposed to be used with. I realize that this
won't be for a while (Eclipse 2.1 isn't even finalized yet), just
wondering if there is some idea of when this will happen.

Thanks,
Ben Plantinga

I'm trying to install cdt with eclipse 2.1 on Linux (I know, I know, its
not supposed to work)
and I'm getting the same error message when trying to activate the cdt.
- After doing the show disabled->activate (described in some posts
earlier), I tried jarring up /features/org.eclipse.cdt_1.0.1, creating a
symbolic link with the .jar extension pointing to the
org.eclipse.cdt_1.0.1 directory and creating a copy of the
org.eclipse.cdt_1.0.1 directory , naming it org.eclipse.cdt_1.0.1.jar -
with no success.

I'm going to wait awhile to see if anyone else gets it to work or until
its officially supported - whatever comes first.

If anyone has managed to get around this - I would really appreciate
some advice (I haven't been able to find a
workaround that works in this newsgroup yet).

Cheers,
/m

Ok - I just tried the nightly build
(org.eclipse.cdt-200303270414-linux-gtk_1.0.1.bin.dist.zip) instead of the
one below. It worked (without any tricky workarounds) like a charm.
This is soooo nice. Thanx for the great work!!

I tried that too today on a Linux machine with Eclipse 2.1 installed. It
didn't work. The same configuration error with the Finish button
disabled :-(

When I unzip that into my eclipse 2.1 install on linux-gtk, I can apparently
use the C++ editors, but the feature has a red X next to it under Install
Configurations -> Eclipse Platform. Whenever I try to install another
(unrelated) feature, it won't let me do so because it says that "Eclipse
C/C++ Development Tools (Linux GTK 1.0.1): Feature requires plug-in
"org.eclipse.cdt (1.0.1)", or compatible". Of course that plugin exists
after the unzip. Will someone please look into this? Should I open a
Bugzilla bug report against CDT?

Update: the latest nightly build (3/27) seems to have fixed the error,
but seems to have the bug that doesn't let the C++ Editor open up
(requires one to open C++ files in the standard text editor)! Any idea on
when this will be fixed?

Thanks,
Josh
