Passing:

- switch to C/C++ perspective: menu "Window -> Open Perspective -> "C/C++"
        - create new C++ project: menu "File > New > C++ Project". Enter \'hello\' as Project name, leave "project type" unchanged (on Mac, it\'s "exectutable") and "Toolchain" unchanged too ("MacOSX GCC" by default on Mac), hit Finish
        - create source file: menu "File > New > Source File", give name "main.cpp", parent folder is project, hit Finish
        - Open "main.cpp", paste the following:
        #include <iostream>
        #include <string>
        
        using namespace std;
        
        int main(int argc, char **argv)
        {
        string yourName;
        cout << "Enter your name: ";
        cin >> yourName;
        cout << "Hello, " + yourName << endl;
        
        return 0;
        }
        
        - save file
        - hit "Ctrl-B" to build
        - look in folder /hello/Debug/, there should be a \'hello\' (no extension) 
        - right-click, Run As > Run Local C/C++ Application, execution should happen OK
