<title>Java</title>
|

<para>Eclipse was originally written for the Java platform. It still
|
||||
requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java Development Kit (JDK),
|
||||
version 1.5 or greater. You will most probably already have Java installed
|
||||
(it comes included in Mac OS X until 10.6 and will be auto-installed in
|
||||
Mac OS X 10.7 / Lion). However, if you don't have Java installed, and you
|
||||
are on Windows or Linux, you can download a JRE from <link xlink:href="http://java.sun.com/javase/">Sun's Java website</link> or from
|
||||
<link xlink:href="http://www.java.com">java.com</link>. At the time of
|
||||
this writing the latest version was <link xlink:href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp">Java Runtime
|
||||
Environment (JRE) 7</link>. Look for the section called "Java SE Runtime
|
||||
Environment (JRE)" and select "JRE 7" (or similar). You will not need
|
||||
NetBeans, JDK, or EE, they are just larger downloads with more programs.
|
||||
You may need the JDK if you want to do Java development.</para>

|

<para>To find out if you have Java installed, and which version it is, you

can open a command prompt / shell and type in:</para>

<para>The file is about 86 MB in size, so it will take a while to

download. You will end up with a .ZIP file. Use either <link xlink:href="http://www.filzip.com/">FilZip</link> or your favorite ZIP

Program (Windows XP/Vista/7 and Mac OS X have .ZIP support build in) to

unpack the file. Move the unpacked folder to any location, for example

<para>In the environment variables, there are two sections, one for the

paths to be set for everyone, or for you, do one of the following:</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
<emphasis>Warning: I had reports of people deleting their existing
|
||||
Path environment variable! Please be very careful when editing an existing
|
||||
value! By default, Windows has the whole line selected, resulting in
|
||||
overwriting what was in there!</emphasis>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>If you want to set it for everyone, look for the variable
|
||||
<computeroutput>Path</computeroutput> in the section <computeroutput>System
|
||||
variables</computeroutput>. Click <computeroutput>Edit</computeroutput>.
|
||||
There should already be some text in there, append
|
||||
<command>;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;</command> (or your appropriate
|
||||
paths, e.g. <command>;C:\msys\1.0\bin;C:\mingw\bin</command> if you
|
||||
installed MinGW 5 / MSys 1.0.11) to it, and select
|
||||
<computeroutput>OK</computeroutput> multiple times. Please make sure that
|
||||
you do not overwrite what was in there!</para>
|
||||
<para>If you just want to set it for you, look for
|
||||
<computeroutput>Path</computeroutput> in the upper section. It is very
|
||||
likely not there yet. So select <computeroutput>New...</computeroutput> and
|
||||
enter <command>C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin</command> (or your
|
||||
appropriate paths, see paragraph above). Then select
|
||||
<computeroutput>OK</computeroutput> multiple times. Again, if there was a
|
||||
setting before, do not delete it, but rather append your path!</para>

<para>There seems to be a problem with a very long PATH environment variable
|

on some systems. According to reports, Eclipse will fail to compile and
|

build, where as compiling and building from a command window may work fine.
|

In this case, try to prepend the path to MinGW and MSYS rather than
|

appending it.</para>

<para>Congratulations. Now you have a complier and make set up on your

<para>Checkpoint: Open up a command terminal (cmd) and type:</para>

<programlisting>make --version

g++ --version

gcc --version</programlisting>
|

<para>Each one of these should work now. If not, you have either not

installed MSYS correctly or not set your path environment variable. Also,

try logging out and back in.</para>

<para>If you want to use the debugger, you may have to install it

separately. This is the case with MinGW 5.0.2, it may be different in

other versions. Download it from the same page, look for a package

starting with gdb and ending with .exe. At the time of this writing

(Apr 29) the current version was "gdb-5.2.1-1.exe". Install

(double-click) that .exe, select all the default options (make sure

you select the same MinGW directory as you did during the MinGW

install).</para>

<para>I have received a report that gdb-6.3-2 does not work. So I

would advise using the older version or waiting for a newer

one.</para>

<programlisting>gdb --version</programlisting>

<para>There are several freely available C and C++ development environments.

Most of them have the disadvantage that they require one particular

operating system. The Eclipse IDE was written as a cross-platform

development environment. Initially just written for Java, it also has a very

good C/C++ development mode.</para>

with C or C++ using only free tools on the three major operating systems

all operating systems, thus providing a consistent user experience once

<para>Most of the options in the MinGW 5 installer are pretty

straightforward. I will point out some of the more tricky

options.</para>
|

<para>The first one of such options is which "MinGW" package to
|
||||
install. Any of those should work just fine, but I would recommend
|

<computeroutput>Current</computeroutput>.</para>

<para>should print the version of gcc. If you get a "File not found",
|

try logging out and logging back in, or even rebooting your computer.

If it still does not work, you have not installed MinGW correctly. You

may also need to set your environment variables manually (see

below).</para>

<para>What they want to know is where you installed MinGW to and that

you replace all backward slashes (\) by forward slashes (/). If you
|

followed the instructions, the answer here will be:</para>
|
||||
<programlisting>C:/MinGW</programlisting>
|
||||
<para>Caveat: If you have not used the default paths, but instead have
|
||||
installed MinGW in a different location, such as
|
||||
<computeroutput>C:/Program Files/MinGW</computeroutput>, where the
|
||||
path contains spaces and / or is longer than 8 characters you may have
|
||||
to replace that particular path component with its DOS short pathname,
|
||||
such as <computeroutput>C:/PROGRA~1/mingw</computeroutput>.</para>
|
||||
<para>Caveat2: The installer may be case sensitive. Please make sure
|
||||
you have written MinGW in the same capitalization as during your first
|
||||
install, in some cases you will have to enter
|
||||
<computeroutput>c:/mingw</computeroutput> (note

capitalization!).</para>

<title>Problems when CYGWIN is installed on Windows</title>
|
||||
<para>I personally do not recommend the installation of cygwin, but rather
|
||||
the installation of MinGW and MSYS as described in <xref linkend="wincompiler"/>. However, the following problems have been
|
||||
reported by users:</para>
|
||||
<section xml:id="cygwin_dll">
|
||||
<title>Binaries require cygwin.dll</title>
|
||||
<para>Eclipse prefers to use cygwin if it is installed, and will do
|
||||
everything to manipulate the path to include cygwin if it is installed.
|
||||
Binaries will therefore by default be linked against the cygwin
|
||||
libraries. Possible workarounds:</para>
