- Due to its strong emphasis on safety, reliability and quality, the development of embedded and critical systems is based since the beginning of its history on numerous software tools. But while the life cycle of critical and embedded systems goes from 10 years up to 80 years in the case of aircraft, the tools frequently become obsolete or disappear after less than 15, 10 or even 5 years.
To install and setup the Eclipse IDE, first download Java Development Kit (Java JDK) because Eclipse is a Java-based IDE; second, download Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW) as the compiler; and third, download Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (Eclipse IDE) for C/C++. Let’s begin:
1. Java Development Kit (Java JDK)
In order to determine whether Java JDK is already on your system, opening the command prompt, type “javac” and hit enter. If the machine responds with “‘javac’ is not recognized […],” then Java JDK will need to be installed; otherwise, move on to downloading the Eclipse IDE.
Click here to access the Java JDK downloads page. Scroll down to find the links to the downloads. Accept the license agreement, and download the latest .exe (executable) file based off your Windows 10 operating system. Click the downloaded file to open the installer. Click on “Next” on the installer window. Click on “Next” again to set the Java JDK to the default location. Once the download has completed, close the window. In order for Java to work, however, it has to be set in “Environment Variables.” Follow the next steps to set Java’s address/variable in “Environment Variables”:
The downloaded file should be located in the Local Disk (C:) directory. Open the Local Disk (C:) directory in the Files Explorer, open the “Program Files” folder, open the downloaded “Java” folder, open the “jdk-<version #>” folder, and open the “bin” subfolder inside it. Click once in the address bar (to the right of the search bar) in empty space (not on the names, arrows, or folder) to copy the address.
Search “advanced system settings” in the Windows search bar to navigate to the “Advanced System Settings” window. Click “Environment Variables.” This will lead to the “Environment Variables” window. Select “Path” in the “Systems variables” list and click “Edit,” which will bring you to a new window. To add in the copied address to the list in the new window, click “New” and paste it in.
Click “OK” to close the three windows opened to add the address. Open Windows’s Command Prompt by typing “command prompt” into the Windows search bar. To confirm the installation of Java, enter in “java –version.” The first line of the command prompt, which in my case was “java 13.0.2 2020-01-14,” should show the version number (13.0.2 at the time of writing).
2. Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW)
Download the MinGW compiler here. Scroll down to a small blue button with a windows logo. Click on it to download the .exe file. At the time of writing, the downloaded file name is “mingw-get-setup.exe.” Open the downloaded file. A window titled “MinGW Installation Manager Setup Tool” will pop up.
Continue through the window by clicking “Install.” Click “Continue” to initialize the installation, and click “Continue” again after everything has loaded. This will take you to a different window titled “MinGW Installation Manager,” which lists MinGW-related packages.
Right click the box to the left of the first package name, and click “Mark for Installation” in the pop-up menu. Do this for the rest of the packages. Once all marked, click “Installation” on the top-left side of the window, click “Apply Changes” and click “Apply” in the smaller pop-up window. This will start the installation of all the packages. Following the installation, close the “Applying Scheduled Changes” window.
* If the package boxes in the “MinGW Installation Manager” window are green, the packages are installed. If some packages are still not installed, try clicking “Installation” again to redo the installation process.
Close out the “MinGW Installation Manager.” The downloaded MinGW should be located in the Local Disk (C:) directory. Open the Local Disk (C:) directory in the Files Explorer, open the “MinGW” folder, and open the “bin” subfolder inside it. Click once in the address bar (to the right of the search bar) in empty space (not on the names, arrows, or folder) to copy the address/variable.
Enter “advanced system settings” in the Windows search bar to navigate to the “Advanced Systems Settings” window. Click “Environment Variables.” This will lead to the “Environment Variables” window. Select “Path” in the “Systems variables” list and click “Edit.” To add in the address to the list, click “New” and paste in the address copied from before.
Click “OK” to close the three windows opened to add the address. Open Windows’s Command Prompt by typing “command prompt” into the Windows search bar. To confirm the installation of MinGW, enter in “g++ –version.” The first line of the command prompt, which in my case was “g++ (MinGW.org GCC -8.2.0-5) 8.2.0,” should show the version number (8.2.0 at the time of writing).
3. Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (Eclipse IDE)
Download Eclipse IDE here. Click the link for Windows 64 bit, then click the download button.
* A computer with a Windows 32 bit operating system will not be able to install the latest Java JDK. To identify your computer’s operating system, go to “System Information” by typing it in the Windows search bar. Depending on whether your computer has the 64 or 32 bit operating system “System Information” will respectively display x64 or x32 to the right of “System Type.”
How To Install Eclipse C++ On Mac
Open the downloaded file. Click “Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Development” in the Eclipse Installer menu. Click “Install.” While downloading, a pop-up will appear. Click “Accept” to accept to agreement. After it finishes downloading, click “Launch.” A smaller window will appear–click “Launch” again.
When launching, a pop-up window will appear asking to select a workspace location. Hit “OK” to set the workspace location to the default. A window will appear titled “eclipse-workspace – Eclipse IDE.” On the right hand side, under “File,” you will see two icons. Click on the lower icon. Expand the screen the icon brings up; then hover over “Window” and click on “Preferences.” Expand the “General” category and go to “Workspace.”
How To Setup Eclipse For C++ On Mac
There should be a section in “Workspace” titled “Text file encoding.” When dealing with C/C++ programs, usually UTF-8 is used rather than the Default (Cp1252) option. Select other to change it to the UTF-8 option. Another section to adjust in “Workspace” is “New text file line delimiter.” Change this to Unix after selecting “Other.” Apply these changes and hit “Apply changes.”
Next, go back to the Preferences menu. This time expand “C/C++” instead of “General.” Go to “New C/C++ Project Wizard.” This section will have “Toolchains.” Select “MinGW GCC” and click “Make toolchain(s) preferred.” Apply these changes and hit “Apply changes.”
If you have completed these steps, you have installed everything needed for the Eclipse IDE.
