Eclipse CDT as an IDE may do the job but if you
want to do cross-platform dev I would advise
you to have a look at CMake (www.cmake.org)

CMake can handle cross-platform issue very well
and the near-to-be-release CMake 2.6 can generate
"project file" for several IDE including
   Eclipse
   Code::Blocks
   XCode
   MS Visual Studio
   Unix Makefile

I won't _ONLY_ build on Eclipse for cross-platform dev.
