I downloaded Eclipse the other day and the CDT plugin since I heard I would use that for doing C/C++ development. I've never bothered with IDEs before since my programs for school were pretty simple. But it seems like for any employment, and for larger school projects, use and knowledge of an IDE is a must. Plus I think it would help me a lot so I'm not manually cout or println my variables and notes when debugging.
So I got CDT, but it still doesn't compile. Do I need the C++ compiler separate and the CDT plugin just sorta integrates the compiler/linker deal with Eclipse? If so, what compiler? There's so damn many.. I want it to be compatible with the GCC one used on the Fedora machines at school.
Also, can I program Fortran with Eclipse? Get a F90 compiler, then set up a fortran profile or something to that affect with the compiler path? Or do I need another plugin?
Mostly I need to setup editors and compilers at home (I'm doing C/C++, Fortran 90, and MIPS assembly with SPIM this semester) because the common CS major is loud, stupid, and fvcking annoying in the labs to sit and hear all night. Not that home is usually much quieter, but whatever. :frown:
