Setting Up Eclipse
- First we need to download Eclipse. Open this link and click on "Windows 32-bit" or "Windows 64-bit" according to your system.
- After you download the .zip, extract it and place the eclipse folder somewhere you like. I placed mine in C:\Program Files\Eclipse. Here's a screen:
Setting Up MinGW
- Download MinGW from the link below:
- Run the installer. Press "Install" and then "Continue".
- The MinGW Installation Manager should now open. Click on "Basic Setup" on the left side of the window. Then look for "mingw32-base", click on the check box and select "Mark for Installation". Also mark "mingw32-gcc-g++" (Class "bin" and "dev") for Installation.
- On the main menu bar, click on "Installation" menu and select "Apply Changes". Wait for it to finish.
- When it is done, you should have something like this:
- Right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties". Click on "Advanced System Settings". Press "Environment Variables..." and add a new user variable named "Path" and with the location of MinGW bin folder on its value. You should have something like this:
- Open Eclipse. If prompted on where to store your workspace, browse to the folder where you want to keep your projects.
- On the main menu bar, click on "Help" menu and select "Install New Software..."
- Click "Add..."
- Fill in the forms:
- Name: CUTE
- Location: http://www.cute-test.com/updatesite
- Press OK.
- Now select:
- CUTE Optional Features
- CUTE Plugin
- Press "Next" twice, select "I accept (...)" and then press "Finish". When it is done it will prompt you to restart Eclipse.
