To use this plugin, you must install a C/C++ compiler, and, optionally, a debugger. On Windows, the best is to install minGW. On Mac, install XCode tools from Apple developer Connection (registration required, and - warning ! - big download). On Linux, your system should have the GNU tools (compiler, debugger, make…) already. For a step-by-step installation and check of those tools, see this tutorial.
Can eclipse be used as a remote debugger and compiler. Some like BVRDE in concept.
Thanx
I am looking for the same.
I am trying to find an equivalent to BVRDE in Linux. Could you do this with Eclipse? I am able to compile and associate remote compiler output, but yet I can’t debug. I’ll see if I can.
Thanks,
juan carlos
i also need to know if i can use the eclips as a remote debugger ? and how ? Beside the BVRDE there is another tool called Magic c++
thanks
to ashish >> yes, there’s a remote debugger (gdb/remote) . setting up the thing can be a bit complicated, I gather. I found some tutorial on it, but it was a bit outdated. Can say I’ve tried it myself tho.
Hi,
Does this software do code completion ? For example if I type scanf or strlen function ?
Do I have to add some libraries ?
Thanks
It does AFAIK, not only for simple stuff (std libs) but also for your code. Note that you will need to select “Full C/C++ Indexer” under the preference “C/C++ -> indexer”, or in the per-project properties.
Hi, I’m a newbie here so please be patient..
Could someone tell me if it is possible to put use some kind of GUI DESIGNER when developing C applications for windows with easyeclipse? If there really is not an eclipse plugin (which is quite hard to believe) could I perhaps use something like this http://www.wxwidgets.org/?
Similarly, what is there in the way of unit testing c applications with easy eclipse?
