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.

Unpack and launch Eclipse

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.

Continue to install CDT

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. Make sure the "CDT update site" item is checked, and select Finish.
  5. Select a mirror site.
  6. When the Update site is loaded you see another Dialog.
  7. Expand the "CDT update site" item, expand "CDT Main Features" and check at least the "C and C++ Development Tools" item.
    • Check any other optional items you like.
  8. Click Next, accept the license terms, Click Next, and click Finish.
    • Eclipse proceeds to download the components you selected.
  9. On the Verification page, click "Install All."
  10. When it's done, click "Yes" to restart the Eclipse workbench.

Install PTP

Install PTP 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. Make sure the "PTP Update site " item is checked, (you can uncheck CDT) and select Finish.
  5. Select a mirror site if asked.
  6. When the Update site is loaded you see another Dialog.
  7. Expand the "PTP Update site" item, expand "Parallel Tools Platform 2.0" and check the features you want:
    • Parallel Tools Platform End-User Runtime (required)
    • PTP Parallel Language Development Tools (optional, but recommended)
    • PTP Common External Components (required) - nonEclipse stuff: platform-specific fragments, proxy & util libraries
    • PTP Remote Tools Enabler (optional for remote, must have PTP Remote Tools installed)
    • PTP RSE Enabler (optional for remote, must have RSE installed )
    • PTP Support for Open MPI (required?)
    • PTP Support for IBM Parallel Environment (optional)
    • PTP Support for IBM LoadLeveler (optional)
    • PTP Remote Tools (optional for remote, must have PTP Remote Tools Enabler installed)
  8. Click Next, accept the license terms, Click Next, and click Finish.
    • Eclipse proceeds to download the components you selected.
  9. On the Verification page, click "Install All."
  10. When it's done, click "Yes" to restart the Eclipse workbench.

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