eclipse is an IDE, a development environment to help in the coding process. it gives you features like highlighting, brace folding, intellisense and such to aid in your coding. eclipse is an open source IDE that started out being used for java, and eventually got plug-ins for other languages (including c++). if you goto the eclipse website im sure there will be links to the tools you need to get started with c++ on eclipse
Thanks for the help. Went to the site and downloaded the c++ plug-in for the IDE but still can't get my head around the whole interface. I must admit that I am quite new to this, but it has been a real struggle so far. I have this page which tells to use this command (yum install eclipse-cdt) to download the c++ plug in and I did exatly the same. Used the command in a terminal window and it worked well without a hitch. Here is the page:
http://sourceware.org/eclipse/
Restarted the pc, and tried to compile this piece of c++ code and guess what it die not compile when I pressed the Run button at the top. Here is the page where I got the readymade code from.

And here is the code taken from this page.
PHP Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std
;
int main
()
{
cout
<<
"HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!\n"
;
cin
.
get
();
}
To cut the story short, all I want is something like this kind of interface. Pleasae see the attached image of the Kdevelop interface as an example. I want the option of Automatic code completion, syntax highlighting and automatic indentation. But for some reason I am not getting these features. Can any one please help me. Thanks. |
