Compile C++ project in Eclipse

Question

I have downloaded Eclipse IDE for C++ developers from the page http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php . What is further required to be able to compile and run C++ projects in Eclipse? May be CDT? Where can I download it for Windows7 64 bit?

Answer 1

I think u need also stuff like http://www.mingw.org/ for compiling and make. It uses the GNU c++ compiler that is also used by Linux and has all of its standard libraries. Search for ecplise cdt mingw in google and u will find enough tutorials i think.
