Installing the C++ Addon [message #81054]

Hey all.

I know it sounds pretty basic, but I'm confused as to how to install the
C++ tool into eclipse. Ive programmed 3 times in C++ before at school, but
there were no free compilers I could find except for Eclipse. I downloaded
2.1 yesterday, and I just downloaded the C++ addon. How to I install it?
Thanks!

Take a look at the last tutorial (it deals with installing CDT under
Windows)
at our website www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~eclipse.

Great tutorial, David! Do you mind if we put a link to it from the CDT
site?

Cheers,

I have to say the same like Doug.

But some little "bugs" found while flying over the tutorial.

The "Hello World" thing misses either "using namespace std;" after the
iostream-include or you have to use std::cout, std::cerr, std::cin and
std::endl.

When compiling C++ files/projects, use the g++ instead of gcc.
Only use gcc when doing C-only projects.
The point is, that g++ also has the stdc++ library path set internally
and usually compiling C++ files with gcc gives errors on not found
symbols. You could also use 'ld' for linking

Your target is main, but you want to delete main.exe!
Though under Windows the target is main.exe.

You use $(MAKE) as var, but gcc not. You could define it like this:
(Actually in GNU make its default, I think)
---
# C compiler and compiler flags
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -g
# C++ compiler and compiler flags
CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -IC:\MinGW\include
# linker flags
LDFLAGS = -lstdc++

C_DEBUG = -g
RM = del /S /Q

..PHONY: all debug clean
..DEFAULT: all
all:
$(MAKE) main

debug:
$(MAKE) "CXXFLAGS+= $(C_DEBUG)" main

clean:
-$(RM) main.exe main.o

main.exe : main.o
$(CXX) -o $@ $^ $(LDFLAGS)

main.o : main.cpp
$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -o $@ -c $<
