Note

If Eclipse fails to find Java when you run Eclipse, you might need to add the
path to the Java “bin” directory to your Windows environmental variables.
You can edit this list in the Advanced System Settings screen, accessed
from the Control Panel. (See also the Eclipse

readme_eclipse

file, which

gives instructions for pointing Eclipse to a specific version of Java.)

Install Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers

Eclipse is the primary development tool for assembling, debugging, running and downloading

applications.

1. Download Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers (also known as Eclipse CDT (C/C++

Development Tooling).) We have tested with version 8.1.2 (Juno), version 8.2.1
(Kepler) and version 8.4.4 (Luna). Available at

http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/

2. Install Eclipse core. (These instructions are for 64-bit Windows machines.)
