Setup Eclipse Development IDE

My next step in the development setup process was to add Eclipse to the Ubuntu laptop. This is fairly straight forward since I could do this through the ubuntu software manager. However, to get Eclipse to work as a C/C++ IDE is another matter. It turns out that CDT is the package for Eclipse that turns it into a C/C++ IDE. To get to that you need to instal it via Eclipse from the Eclipse website. This is fairly straight forward given that there is an "Install New Software ..." menu item which can be selected. If you go to the Eclipse website and copy the PS2 ink under CDT, you can paste it into the install dialog in Eclipse and the system will take over from there. Hmmm... methinks that I will need a few other tools down the road and this will be a good place to accomplish that. My only problem now is setting up the C/C++ IDE to develop programs for three different situations. Should be interesting.
