[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Unable to start a C++-Project

Hello,

> From your initial post I see that you were using eclipse 3.0 with CDT 3.0, 
which is incorrect since these versions of eclipse and CDT are not 
compatible with each other. I guess this was the initial source of your 
problem with inability to use CDT.
Here is a brief "CDT<->eclipse compatibility" list:
CDT 3.1 requires eclipse 3.2
CDT 3.0.x requires eclipse 3.1.x
CDT 2.x requires eclipse 3.0.x

I strongly encourage you to use the latest versions of CDT and eclipse, 
i.e. eclipse 3.2 and CDT 3.1

OK! I try to realise this !

Since you have an x86_64 OS, you have two options:
1. use 32 bit version (x86) of java and eclipse+CDT
2. use 64 bit version (x86_64) of java and eclipse+CDT
<
Because i need to use the 64 bit architecture i choose the second way ...

>
As I understand, you have 32 bit version of java already installed, so the 
first (32 bit) way might be easier for you, though you might encounter 
some potential problems with debugging 64 bit applications with your 
32-bit CDT.

I am not totally sure which java version i have already installed and the 
information i have found during my search did not help me far enough.


Thanks a lot for the two possibilities you gave me. Now i am not trying 
anything, because i am afraid that when i install java new, i could make 
more damage than i could repair self.

So i am going to search a unix expert in my friendship who knows enough to 
try the given advices seriously.

I will tell you, what happens after that ...



Best wishes from a ( currently ) non-user of eclipse ...
