Eclipse IDE for C/C++ on your personal machines.

MAC

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.

1. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
