Installing Eclipse, CDT, and PTP

Under construction...

PTP Release 2.0 requires Eclipse 3.3.* (also known as Europa ) and CDT 4.0.2.

There are three choices here:

  1. (easiest) Install Eclipse SDK - e.g. full version ("Classic") and CDT 4.0.2 - if you plan to do Java or Eclipse development, you'll need this.
  2. (lightweight, smaller footprint) Install Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary and CDT 4.0.2 - if you only plan to to C/C++ development, this is all you need. This is about 1/3 to 1/4 the size of the full SDK, and doesn't include the Java or Eclipse Plug-in development parts, which I assume you don't need. The UI is simpler since you don't have all those additional options.
  3. (not currently available; will be easiest and smallest footprint eventually) Install Eclipse IDE for C/C++ development (should be available when Europa Spring maintenance release includes CDT 4.0.3)


(1) Easy way, full Eclipse install

  1. Go to Eclipse downloads and download "Eclipse classic" for your platform.

(2) Details for installing platform (light) version

(Note: when the Spring Europa maintenance release is available, this will be a simple "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers" but currently (Jan. '08) it doesn't include CDT 4.0.2)

  1. Go to Eclipse downloads and under "Eclipse Classic" click on "All versions".
  2. Click on the link for the latest release (3.3.1.1 as of this writing)
  3. Scroll down to the heading "Platform Runtime Binary" and download the archive for your platform.

Continue to install CDT

After downloading and extracting Eclipse (zip or tar file), there's nothing else to the installation process. In the extracted folder, simply run the eclipse executable file. It will ask for a workspace location; the default is fine.

Install the CDT (C/C++ Development Toolkit) as well. You can do this from the Eclipse UI as follows:

  1. Help > Software Updates > Find and Install...
  2. Select "Search for new features to install", and click "Next"
  3. Select "New Remote site" and enter
  4. Hit OK (????)
  5. When the Update site is loaded you see another Dialog.
  6. Expand the "CDT update site" item and check the "C and C++ Development" item.
  7. Click Next, accept the license terms, Click Next, and click Finish.
  8. On the Verification page, click "Install All."
  9. When it's done, click "Yes" to restart the Eclipse workbench.

Install PTP

TBD... need to continue with detailed instructions here..

Then you can install PTP from its update site as well. Or click "no" to close down Eclipse if you prefer to install PTP from downloaded tar.gz files. Note: the above installs the runtime version of CDT. If you intend to develop plug-ins with CDT, be sure to get the full SDK version.

To download and install PTP, either (Recommended) Use the update manager and the PTP update site. http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/releases/2.0 or close Eclipse, download PTP and PLDT from the PTP downloads page.

Now follow the instructions in the release notes and installation instructions page. (You'll need to build a small stub for your platform.)
