Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

1. (Windows only!) MinGW (Before you begin with Eclipse) installs the g++ compiler, debugger, and make utilities.
   • Troubleshooting [configuration error during build/launch]: Verify that c:\MinGW\bin and c:\MinSys\bin is in your PATH environment variable; then you should be able to use the MinGW Toolchain (compiler) and the GNU Make (builder).
2. (Windows/Mac/Linux) Eclipse (download Eclipse Classic 3.3.1.1 or higher)
3. (Windows/Mac/Linux) Within Eclipse, go to: Help > Software Updates > Find and Install... > Search for new Features > Europa Discovery Site > (...searching...) > OSU Open Source Lab > (...searching...) > Europa Discovery Site > C/C++ Development Tools
