Eclipse for C / C++

I'm assuming that there is a post in here somewhere that explains how to setup the C / C++ environment for Prop Development. Can someone post a link. Also if it includes Eclipse as an IDE even better.

Thanks

AO

    Setting up Eclipse is fairly difficult.

    The hardest part is getting the tool-chain connected. Once that's done then you get to ignore some of the syntax checking things.

    I could take some screen shots for you if that would help. Too late tonight though.

    There was a plug-in project started, but it lost steam. It could be revived with the right team of volunteers.

    I tried once to get Eclipse set up. The problem, IIRC, was that Eclipse has some pretty integrated support for the default compiler built in and it's difficult to change that.

    If you're not too attached to Eclipse then you can follow the tutorials for Code::Blocks or, my personal favorite, Netbeans.

    P1: "What? I came here for an argument."

    P1: "Oh (laughter) well that explains it."
    P2: "... you want (room) 12A next door."

    @SRLM, I agree Netbeans is much easier to deal with.

    LOL! Although I'm not familiar with that particular dialog, it reeks of Monty Python. Am I right?

    Python at it's best.

    Eclipse is a huge complex slow monster. Written in Java. Not surprised there are not so many volunteers.

    Isn't NetBeans also written in Java? Is it also huge complex and slow?

    My experience with Netbeans 7.3.1 and 7.4 is mixed. In particular, it has an few annoying code assistance bugs:
    1. Sometimes, the code highlighting freezes or goes crazy.
    2. When using the code formatting option it may go to "Lengthly operation in Progress". There seems to be a lock deadlock somewhere.
    3. Not PropGCC specific, but when editing JavaScript files there is this annoying tendency to incorrectly guess what you want to do, especially with quotes and braces.

    Even with all of that I still like Netbeans, and use it for all of my programming except Android (so PropGCC, HTML, JavaScript, and Java).
