Re: [cdt-dev] Pop-up question?

Well, How did you 'install'? If you just unzipped master*.zip, then you will get everything that is delivered, including the tests (which as a user you don't need). To install CDT, you should use the update manager and select 'local archive site' and just select the components you need (Just CDT if you are doing C/C++ development).

Also, I notice you installed 3.4M4 and CDT 5.0 - these are both VERY VERY early developer builds of the next releases - due for release in June 2008. I would strongly recommend using 3.3.1.1 and CDT4.0.2 if you want a stable release.

Well, I know I am replying to my own post but I figured out what happened with the instalation of the CDT plugins. Instead of being installed in the */eclipse/plugins* they where installed in the */eclipse/configuration/eclipse/plugins. *

Is this an intended location for them or something had changed in the install to cause this?

Thanks!

    Well, I decided to do a clean start on this problem and installed
    everything latest (SDK 12/13/2007-1700 (aka 3.4M4) and CDT 5.0
    12/26/2007) to try to see if this was taken care off, but I still
    get that generic pop-up window instead of the useful one with the
    value of variable or definition of the method.

    The strange thing is that when looking in the eclipse/plugins
    folder, I can't find any recollection of any of the CDT plugins, so
    I could try to get rid of the "tests" ones!! All of this is running
    on Linux.
    Where should I look for those CDT plugins?

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Thanks and have a great holidays!

    ps. I first installed SDK and then Clear Case plugin. Then started
    the Eclipse and installed the CDT plugin through the Help/Software
    Updates/Find Install. Then selected Search for new features to
    install and selected "New Archived Site..." where I located the
    latest CDT download. The rest was just following the directions from
    the install.

        No, this new way of installing things started long time ago and
        I have been using it ever since. Still, my eclipse/plugins
        folder has no CDT plugins in there?!

        Is there anything that gets installed elsewhere on the system
        besides the home directory?

            I can not tell where your CDT plug-ins are, but they must be

            I assume you simply unzipped the cdt-master-*.zip file. This
            is not a recommended way of installing, although
            (unfortunately) it works.
            Did you read the installation instructions where you
            downloaded the new version?
            It says:
To use this zip file, in the menu
            Help->SoftwareUpdates->Find and Install..., select Search
            for new features to install, click New Archived Site..., and
            point at the zip file. The Update Manager will start up and
            you can select the features you want to install. You will at
            nead require the C/C++ Development Tooling feature which is
            the CDT runtime.

                Well, this worked with the build that I was running, but
                after I installed newer versions of both (SDK and CDT),
                I don't see any of the org.eclipse.cdt.xxxx in my home
                folder (remember this is a Linux build that I am using).
                Originally I would see them in the eclipse/plugins
                folder, but new installations would have none of them in
                there.

                What to do with those newer builds in order to get rid
                of that useless generic pop up window?


                Thanks!
