If you are trying to run C/C++ with eclipse on a MAC, follow these directions (thanks to Alex Schearer).
First, install the XCode Plug-Ins:
Option 1: You have the Mac Install discs
1. Insert disc
2. Open disc in Finder
3. Navigate to "Optional Installs"
4. Expand "XCode Tools"
5. Double-click on xcodetools.mpkg
6. Follow installation instructions
Option 2: You don't have the Mac Install discs
1. Go to http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/
2. Register as an Apple developer (Note from Lebeck: I think you can use your
iTunes account name/passwd).
3. Download Xcode
4. Follow installation instructions
Second, Install eclipse for C/C++ developers
1.Go to http://eclipse.org/downloads
2. Download eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers, extract into directory of your
choice.
3. On Snow Leopard you need set eclipse to generate 32-bit binaries, since a
part of eclipse for MAC cannot read 64-bit yet. You change this for each project
under project properties->settings and then 1) highlight MacOS X C Linker
then in the command box on the right add -m32 after gcc, 2) highlight GCC C
Compiler, add -m32 after gcc in the command box, 3) click apply.
First, install MinGW
1. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
2. Download MinGW
3. Follow instructions for installation
Second, Install eclipse for C/C++ developers
1.Go to http://eclipse.org/downloads
2. Download eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers, extract into directory of your
choice.
