Hi Guys, I'm trying to get eclipse (CDT) installed and can't get it to go. Does anyone know how? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've Tried 1. sudo apt-get install eclipse won't work; it gives Since i only want eclipse for C++ and i don't want any java crap; installing them wouldn't help? Shouldn't it install any needed dependacies anyway? 2. Downloading manually can't get it to start. i. I downloaded and placed it into the home folder. ii. I've then added the following lines to the eclipse.ini (to live above -vmargs)to point it to the jvm and it still won't start I tried all sorts of paths for that java and no love. After exhaustive googling and attempts i couldn't get either to start. NOTE: I'm doing this to use eclipse with OpenCV; i've gotten openCV to compile and once i get an example working with eclipse i'll be posting up a step by step to help others. So when i get this solved keep an eye out for that on these forums.
Thanks. The udoo comes with java open-jdk. But are you saying I must install eclipse-jdt package aswell?
Dunno, and until mine arrives I can't really help any more than that. There is always netbeans as an alternative. It supports C/C++ and it is 100% written in java. I got that to boot up on a raspi so it should work on a Udoo. I just hope we can get an actual oracle jDK to use at some point. OpenjDK is DOG slow.
Today I was trying to use synaptic package manager to install Eclipse. It kept coming up as a broken package due to dependencies; which I kept chasing but it would dead end saying the package was unknown. ....
Hi, which are the broken dependecies? Which is the error that sto the installation? Maybe you have to add some missing repository
Its a massive chain... starting with trying to "eclipse" errors off "eclipse-jdt" and "eclipse-pde" then jdt fails on "eclipse-platform" and "eclipse-plugin-cvs" and...on and on....
I wanted to install Eclipse too, but I read in some forum (can't remember which, sorry) that Eclipse on Linux is a massive memory eater, maybe think twice before installing. Also, there may be Eclipse stability issues: I find 3.7.2 (Indigo) on windows quite stable, while 4.2 and 4.3 (used by Google as base for Android Studio) crash regularly with vague errors. Dunno about a 3.7 /3.5 mix as found in the Linux packages....
